You've got to read about this new - as yet unapproved by the FDA - sunscreen: The best skin protection out there.
"People are getting wise to the idea that UVA rays, less known than sunburn-causing UVB rays, cause classic signs of aging, not only wrinkles but also sagging skin, brown spots and yellow discoloration.
And finding a legal sunscreen in the United States that effectively blocks UVA light, which Mexoryl-enhanced products do, is not as easy as it might seem."
By the way, UVA rays are also known as the "Aging" rays, and UVB as the "Burning" rays.Excellent information, especially the 6th paragraph from the bottom which states:
"Unlike UVB light, prevalent only when the sun is high in the sky - between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. during summer - UVA light is virtually inescapable (emphasis mine.)
'It's present in the same amount from sunup to sundown, 365 days a year, totally independent of climate conditions,' said Dr. Katie Rodan, an associate clinical dermatologist at Stanford University.
That means it not only penetrates car windows and T-shirts, but also reaches the skin during fog, rain and even blizzards."
Thank you to my client, Kim T., for telling me about this Mexoryl.
