Sun damage is the main cause of premature aging & skin cancer. How do you protect your skin? The first line of defense is to use a SPF of 15 or above daily. Whether you spend the whole day outside, take a short daily walk or simply step outside to run errands your skin is exposed to the harsh rays of the sun, even on cloudy days. This exposure accumulates over time, so much so that it can cause permanent damage. Sun damage (photodamage) is the main cause of premature aging and skin cancer. The most common signs of sun damage include wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and a repressed immune system.
