  • How do I know the right SPF for my skin type?

    Aim for an SPF 30 or higher, in a formula you are willing to use every day. Apply the product generously to be sure you are covering all areas evenly, and combine sunscreen use with other sun-safe behaviors such as seeking shade, using hats/parasols, timing your outdoor activities to avoid midday sun whenever possible. There is no such thing as a safe tan from the sun or any tanning bed. The presence of a tan is evidence that radiation has already penetrated the skin. To achieve color in a safe way, seek out bronzers, self-tanner topical products, or have spray tanning done professionally.  READ MORE

  • My son's skin begins to itch because of sun exposure. What could be the reason for this?

    There are multiple possibilities for your son's symptoms, such as heat rash, hives, or a sensitivity to the sun (photosensitivity). It would be best to have your son evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist who can take a full history and examine his skin. If possible, take your son to the doctor when the rash is present. Some offices have same-day appointments, so call a nearby dermatology clinic where they will be able to see him when his rash is active. READ MORE
