Beaches and barbecues await... While you're cooking up those meats on the grill, be sure you're not cooking your skin as well! 

An estimated 3.5 million Americans develop skin cancer each year; be smart about your sun protection. You can avoid this disease, and look younger longer.  

Recently, on the Today Show, Dr. Nancy spoke about the new sunscreen guidelines that will be implemented in the US including requirements to list ingredients in labeling. Some of the labeling thus far has been deceptive, and it's time for this needed change.

SPF 15 cuts out 93% of the suns harmful rays. Most Dermatologists recommend a SPF of 30. "Above 30 or higher you're looking at marketing, not science", a noted doctor stated. Its not the number; you need to keep reapplying, every 2 hours if you are in the sun.

What does SPF stand for?

SPF stands for sun protection factor. SPF is a factor of how long you can remain unprotected in the sun without burning. For example, if you begin to burn after 10 minutes in the sun then applying a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will allow you to remain in the sun for 150 minutes before beginning to burn.

                                                        

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends people to use about one ounce of SPF 30 to cover their bodies, a glob about the size of a golf ball.
