Spring is upon us and the cold weather is slowly retreating. If you haven’t already lifted your face to soak in the sun’s warm rays, you will be soon, as summer is just around the corner. But you all know that with the wonderful life that thrives when the sun decides to break through the clouds there is also the risk of sunburn and maybe eventually skin cancer. Ultraviolet radiation is proven to be a cause of cancer so sunscreen that absorbs or blocks those harmful rays from your skin should practically be an extension of your body and you should apply some every day. With more than 25 years of experience in dermatologic surgery and dermatology, Dr. Janet Prytowsky weighs in and provides valuable information to consider as you make decisions about sunscreen.
Moisturize: Throughout the winter months, maybe your skin was a little ashy and dry, nearly all the moisture sucked away. Now, as you expose your skin to the warmth and humidity in the air, your skin is starting to recover by shedding the dead, dry skin and turning over new skin cells. It’s important to keep your skin moisturized to help your skin heal and to mitigate the stress on your skin. “It takes the skin a full month to cycle in all new cells so it will take a while for those damaged dried out cells to turn over,” Dr. Prytowsky said.
