Face the Facts About Sun Exposure

Let's face it.
Prolonged exposure to the sun will lead to premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, discoloration, and even skin cancer. Even worse: The use of tanning beds! In July 2009, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared ultraviolet (UV) radiation from tanning machines one of THE most dangerous forms of cancer-causing radiation. Risk of Melanoma is increased 75% when tanning bed use starts before age 35. A good sunscreen  - such as our outstanding Solar Protection products - to protect your skin from the ultraviolet rays is a must! Basal Cell is the most common kind of skin cancer, and the one directly related to cumulative effects of exposure to sunlight. These unsightly lesions can even appear up to 20 years after overexposure to sunlight. Even one sunburn can increase risk significantly. That is why we urge constant protection from the sun no matter what your skin tone is. Ask us about the best sunscreen for your skin.
