Essential Summer Skin Care Tips (video)

In this short video from DermTV, Dr. Neal Schultz discusses essential summer skincare tips.:


  • Wear sunscreen all day, every day, summer or winter.
  • Sunscreen needs to have SPF between 15 and 30 (88-95% protection from burning UVB rays), needs to be labeled as broad spectrum or UVA protection.
  • Reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours and immediately after sweating or swimming.
  • Wear enough! Traditional sunscreen needs about 1oz to cover your body, natural zinc or mineral based sunscreen requires about 1/3 less.

Apply
an enormous amount of sunscreen 15 minutes before you soak yourself up under
the sun.  I have also read that a slice
of potato is good to treat sunburn.

Pure Aloe Vera (direct from the plant) and lavender essential oil also help to take away the sting of sunburn.
