An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure – and while so many of us get caught up nowadays in the cure for our signs of aging, let’s not forget about how easy and accessible prevention is! Summer a great time to put the spotlight back on the easiest, most inexpensive way to keep your skin looking young (and your skin cancer scans coming back clear!)
It’s no secret that sun avoidance should be at the top of your list for anti-aging, but it’s just as important for avoiding skin cancer. While we’re all going to get exposure, be it waking to and from your car, sitting near windows inside, or through your car windows while driving, what’s important is making daily sunscreen application just as second nature in your routine as brushing your teeth! Just as many have toothpaste preferences, it’s completely normal to do a little research to find which sunscreen finish and color works best for your desired look and skin type! Lucky for you, Skin Iowa PC carries a wide range of medical grade SPF options from ZO Skin Health® that are sure to make your skin happy, no matter the type!
