June is National Healthy Skin Month
You can have hot fun in the summertime without risking your health. Here’s what the doctors recommend:
1. Keep well-hydrated. Eight glasses of water a day is essential to maintaining skin’s elasticity and suppleness.
2. Protect your skin from the harmful effects of sun exposure.
3. Wear a hat, wear sunglasses and slather on the sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher on exposed areas.
4. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Select a product with anti-oxidants such as vitamins A, C and E which can help block air pollutants.
5. Schedule your annual mole check with your primary care physician. When it comes to the health of your skin, being proactive will allow plenty of time for early detection and treatment.
