The sun has a profound effect on the skin during years of sun exposure, causing sun damage and premature skin aging. Almost all major adult skin problems such as fine lines, age spots, dry skin and wrinkles can be attributed more to sun exposure than to natural aging alone. Sun damaged skin changes that are commonly due to sun exposure include skin cancer, age spots, sun-induced freckles, actinic keratosis, and moles. Skin texture changes caused by the sun's ultraviolet radiation include thickening of skin leading to course wrinkles and thinning of skin causing fine wrinkles, easy bruising and skin tearing. The sun can also cause other skin conditions such as a permanent stretching of small blood vessels, giving your skin a mottled, reddish appearance.

Skin Care and Sun Protection

1. Be Sun Safety Smart! Wear sun protective clothing and hats when outdoors and enjoy safe sun.
   
   
2. Apply a sun protection product that provides broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays and that has a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Products that contain zinc oxide 3.5% or higher applied to all sun-exposed skin areas every day is recommended. Avoid deliberate sun tanning and minimize sun exposure.
   
   
3. Apply a topical anti-oxidant vitamin C (such as Obagi Ceffective Serum) to the face and sun exposed skin daily. This will boost skin's ability to fight sun damage and will significantly reduce your risk from the sun's radiation and help repair and fight skin damage caused by the sun's ultraviolet radiation.

Benefits from this simple 3-step regime include:

• Reduction in visible signs of sun damage to the skin on your face and body areas including texture changes, dullness, coarse thickening of the dead cell layer, and pigment irregularities (those awful brown age spots!)
  
  
• Better over all healthy skin appearance and
  
  
• Skin cancer prevention.
