â
Here are four images of sun damage that shows our patients that highlight the importance of SPF.â
â
1. The left side of this 69 year old truck drivers face, which was exposed to UV rays through his truck window for the past 28 years, is visibly more damagedš than the right.â
â
2. The face and neck of 92-year-old who reportedly used UV-protective moisturizer on her face but not her neck².â
â
3. This patient has spent over 70 years working the land out in the sun, but always wore pants. This protected his legs from a lot of the sun damage his exposed arms received.â
â
4. Twins (natural age 61) with significant difference in sun exposure. Twin B had approximately 10 hours per week greater sun exposure than twin A without daily SPF. The perceived age difference was 11.25 yearsÂł.â
â
Daily sunscreen protects your skin, prevents premature aging, and lowers skin cancer risk!â
â
Hot or cold, rain or shine, UV rays still pe*****te cloud cover during the day. Most UV exposure happens when you least expect itâ snow reflects up to 80%â´ of UV. This is why winter skin aging is underestimated.â
