Sunscreen 101
Continue

Most dermatologists would agree: In a perfect world, everyone would wear sunscreen daily—clear skies or cloudy—whether you’re headed to work or a week in the West Indies. Slathering it on is, after all, your best protection against skin cancer and premature aging—aside from not going out in the sun at all (and, really, how realistic is that?). The thing is, whether you’re a 365-day-a-year addict or just a part-timer (most likely to apply only at the beach), sunscreen won’t do you any good unless you choose it and use it correctly.
