Sunscreens are not just for summer. Apply sunscreen to all exposed areas of skin 20 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours and after sweating or getting the skin wet. Choose a sunscreen that has an SPF of 15-30 and protects against both UVA and UVB light. Many moisturizers also contain sunscreens. If sunscreen gets in your eye, flush it with plenty of water for 10-15 minutes. Your lips can get sunburned too, so be sure to use a lip balm with an SPF of at least 15. Protect your eyes from sun damage with a pair of close-fitting sunglasses that provide UVA and UVB protection. If you are using a medication that contains a retinoid (such as acitretin, isotretinoin or tretinoin), or other medications that make the skin more sensitive to the sun (such as tetracycline, ibuprofen or hydrochlorothiazide), use extra caution when going out in the sun. Watch out for windows. UVA rays can pass through glass all year long. These are the rays that cause skin aging, skin cancer and most drug-related reactions to the sun. UVB rays cannot pass through glass. These are the rays that lead to sunburns.
