Sunscreen: What You Need to Know

It’s common knowledge that sunscreen is crucial to protect your skin against the sun’s harmful UV rays, but many questions about sunscreen may still be left unanswered.

The secret to these secrets is that they’re not really secrets! These are tips that just about any dermatologist will offer to their patients who are looking for ways to have healthier skin.

Apply sunscreen (one that is SPF 30 or higher, is water resistant, and has broad coverage ) anytime you go outside.
No smoking. Smoking can worsen some skin conditions and make your skin age faster.
Make sure you are checking your skin to be aware of any changes that might be happening.
If you’re looking for sun-kissed skin, use a self-tanner instead of the sun itself.
Find skin care products that meet your specific needs!
Don’t scrub your face. This can irritate your skin, making your skin issues worse.
Make sure you are washing your face with a gentle cleanser before bed, when you wake in the morning, and after sweating.
Be gentle when you wash your face. Your skin is delicate and will thank you for it.
Stress less. Stress can exacerbate any skin conditions you may already have or cause them to appear.
Visit a dermatologist. We can help.

Some of these are definitely easier to manage than others. If you have questions about any skin issues you are having or about how to care for your skin, call us at 828-253-2533 to make an appointment with our board-certified dermatologists!
