Summer Skin Savvy
Surveys show that more people are aware that the sun's radiation causes skin cancer and ages skin. "Unfortunately, their behavior hasn't changed significantly, and the number of skin cancers is rising faster than any other cancer," says dermatologist Conway Huang, M.D. "Women have a head start on protection now that many cosmetics contain sunscreen.
SPF 15 is sufficient for most people, but don't forget to apply sunscreen to all exposed areas, including your ears and under your chin." Huang says sand, water and even white concrete can reflect the sun's rays from below. Baseball caps only protect part of the head; wide-brimmed hats cover ears and back of neck."
