Outsmart the Summer Sun at Any Age
Date:4/11/2008

oducts that have built in SPF," advises Drucker. Teen girls who wear makeup should choose from the variety of products that include sunscreen. "Since it fits into products they already use, it's a painless step that provides valuable sun protection."

* Quit tanning beds. They emit the same harmful UV rays as sunlight and are used at dangerous rates. "For teens who insist on getting color, a spray-on tan is the only safe tan," says Drucker.

* Wear hats as a trendy accessory. Drucker notes sun damage frequently occurs on the face. "This season it's easy for teens to stock up on cute, stylish hats that will also shield their face in the sun."

Adults

* Be aware that the window glass in cars does not block all of the sun's harmful rays, making the driver's left side more prone to sun damage. Solutions Drucker offers include applying sunscreen before long car rides or installing shades or specialized tinting in car windows.

* Sun-proof hair. The top of the head becomes increasingly at risk for sun damage as hair thins or if the hair is parted. Style using hairsprays, shampoos and conditioners with SPF.

* Apply sunscreen to oft-forgotten areas - the top of ears, back of hands, neck and toes. Drucker warns, "These are four places that get a lot of incidental sun exposure."

* It is little known that wind intensifies sun damage says Drucker. "People should be especially careful during water sports or windy days at the beach when the chapping and burning effect of the wind acts as an additive to UV rays and can increase their risk of burning," she explains.
