With summer upon us, dermatologists have some tips on how to prevent skin damage and protect against cancer.First, adults should use a minimum of 30 SPF. Kids and those with sensitive skin should use mineral sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens should contain titanium dioxide and zinc oxide filters, according to Dr. Fayne Frey, a board certified dermatologist, and author of"The Skincare Hoax".
"If you don't put the sunscreen on liberally enough, you're not going to get the SPF that’s on the label," said Dr. Frey, After five sunburns, your risk of melanoma, a type of skin cancer, doubles.Second, make sure all exposed skin is covered with sunscreen or protective clothing.Spray tans and self-tanner lotions are not harmful, but need to be used with SPF sunscreen.
