Skin Saver

Your sunscreen already has SPF. It should have this too...

The next time you buy sunscreen – look beyond the SPF. Try to find a brand that has antioxidants in there too. The SPF protects us from UVB rays and immediate sunburn. It doesn’t protect us from the free radicals out there that can also cause cancer and wrinkles. If you see a brand of sunscreen or moisturizer that has got vitamins C and E in there, you’ll be getting that extra layer of antioxidant protection.

There’s one more thing to check for on the label – UVA. If it just says UVB protection, it’s not good enough, it has to have both. Look for the term “broad-spectrum UVA/UVB.”
