Sunscreen and Summer Sun Safety
One of the best sun safety tips is to use sunscreen when spending time outdoors. However, the proper application of sunscreen is just as important to obtain the maximum benefits of sun protection.

As part of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month this May, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center is encouraging everyone to learn more about the proper application of sunscreen to lower their lifetime risk of developing skin cancer.

“Many associate a suntan with good health and vitality; however, 95 percent of all skin cancers are caused by the sun,? says Carol Drucker, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Dermatology at M. D. Anderson. “While the sun does provide Vitamin D, just a small amount of sunlight – not a suntan – is needed to meet the body’s needs and regular use of sunscreen is a great way to limit that exposure.?

Unfortunately, sunburn protection doesn't equal skin-cancer prevention. UVB was once regarded as the main culprit in skin cancer as well as in sunburn, but experts now think that light waves in the ultraviolet A (UVA) part of the spectrum also contribute greatly to skin cancer. UVA, which penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB, also contributes to skin aging.

Sunscreen may be the most common form of sun protection, but there is still plenty of confusion about how to select sunscreen and use it correctly. Many of my patients ask me questions about the various levels of Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, the most effective sunscreen ingredients, and which form of sunscreen is best for their skin type. Helping them wade through the confusion and select the best product is one of my most important roles as a dermatologist.
