With the summer just around the corner, everyone is thinking of lounging on the beach or sitting by the pool, and getting a tan. Sun protection does not top people's list of fun things to think about during the summer, but it is very important. Overexposure to the sun can lead to skin cancers and premature aging of the skin.
Proper sun protection is easy, once it becomes a habit. The foundation of sun protection is daily facial sunscreen use. This should also be applied to the backs of the hands since these tend to be the two areas most prone to sun damage. For extended periods of outdoor exposure a water resistant sunscreen with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 is best.
Read MoreDiabetes can affect every part of the body, including the skin. As many as one third of people with diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some time in their lives. In fact, such problems are sometimes the first sign that a person has diabetes. Luckily, most skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if caught early.
