Is the SPF in Your Makeup Enough to Protect Your Skin?
- Daily sun protection is crucial to prevent skin cancer and signs of aging, with one in five Americans developing skin cancer by age 70.
- Cosmetics with SPF can provide added protection from UV rays, but are not enough on their own and should be used along with sunscreen.
- To ensure adequate sun protection, apply a broad-spectrum lotion sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to face, ears and neck daily, and reapply every two hours or after swimming, sweating or toweling off.
