There's much you can do to keep your skin healthy. In fact, the most effective means may be the simplest: protect yourself against the sun.
The sun is a major cause of premature skin aging such as wrinkles, dry skin and age spots. No matter what your age, it's important to protect yourself against the sun. A few sun safe habits to make your own are:
- Avoid peak hours if possible. The sun's damaging rays (called ultraviolet or "UV" rays) are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Stay inside, or at least in the shade.
- Apply sunscreen. Choose a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15, and follow directions carefully. UV rays can pass through clouds and reflect off of cement and even snow. So be sure to wear sunscreen every day. Remember to apply to the areas that you tend to miss such as your ears, hands and feet.
- Wear protective clothing. Wear wide-brimmed hats, UV-blocking sunglasses and dark, tightly-woven fabric to reduce exposure to the sun's harmful rays.
