The Journal of Investigative Dermatology recently published information on research being completed at Bath University in the United Kingdom which may change the impact of sunscreen forever.
You know that sunscreen is important to prevent excessive exposure to the sun, which may lead to skin cancer. But what about a sunscreen that actively repairs skin and prevents skin cancer?
On July 24, 2006, the FDA proved that there is something new under the sun(screen) as they approved Anthelios SX, a new sunscreen made by L'Oreal.
Anthelios SX is designed to prevent sunburn and protect against UVB and UVA rays. It has an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15.
You've probably heard a lot about SPF, and why it's important, but do you know exactly what SPF means?
SPF, or 'skin protection factor' is a measurement of how much sun protection a product will provide.
To determine which SPF is right for you, consider your skin color and how much time you will be spending in the sun.
