Sunscreen   Protection
The AntiAging Silver Bullet
 

               Theoretically, the best sunscreen has the highest SPF number.
Many physicians recommend using a product with an SPF of 30 or more. However, no one really agrees on a "good" SPF number. A sunscreen with an SPF of 60 might be better than one with an SPF of 30, but not necessarily - and the SPF 60 product isn't likely to be twice as effective as the SPF 30 product.
·SPF stands for sun protection factor.
This is a measure of how well the sunscreen deflects UVB rays. Currently, there's no standard for measuring UVA protection.
·Manufacturers calculate SPF based on how long it takes to sunburn skin that's been treated with the sunscreen as compared with  
skin that hasn't been treated with sunscreen.

Sunscreens are designed to remain stable and at original strength for up to three years. This means that you can use leftover sunscreen from one year to the next.

Some sunscreens include an expiration date, or an indication of when the sunscreen is no longer effective. Discard sunscreen that's past the expiration date, is more than three years old or has been exposed to high temperatures.

Keep in mind, however, that if you use sunscreen generously and frequently, a bottle of sunscreen shouldn't last from one year to the next. Generally, a liberal application is 1 ounce (30 milliliters) - the amount in a shot glass - to cover all exposed parts of the body. If you have a 4-ounce (118-milliliter) bottle, you'll use about one-fourth of it during one application.

Sun Screen is the Anti-aging Silver Bullet.  Prevent the breakdown of youth preserving  elastin  and collagen with sunscreen and the following

sun protection practices: 

  • Avoid the sun during peak hours. Generally, this is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. - regardless of season. These are prime hours for exposure to skin-damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, even on overcast days.

 

  • Wear protective clothing. This includes pants, shirts with long sleeves, and sunglasses. Top it off with a wide-brimmed hat. In addition, consider investing in special sun-protective clothing for golf, gardening, walking, running - even swimming. Manufacturers have made great strides in terms of comfort, cost and breadth of use.
     
  • Liberal use of sunscreen is a key part of any program to protect yourself from the sun.
