Memorial Day is right around the corner, bringing with it the unofficial start of summer. And even though we are all rejoicing in sunny days at the pool or lake - From now through September, we have to be extra-vigilant to protect our skin from the sun.
Experts report that 80% - 90% of prematurely aging skin is caused by UV radiation from sunlight. "People often underestimate the amount of sun damage they have, " says Dr. Anthony Oro, a dermatology professor at Stanford University.
For protection, experts recommend that you:
- Reapply a generous amount of sunscreen every 2-3 hours
- Wear sunglasses to protect eyes
- Wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat
- Don't be shy about using an umbrella to block the sun
- Use extra caution near sand and water. "The sun can be very intense at the beach because of the reflection from the water and the white sand," says Oro.
