he risks of a perpetual
"healthy tan" are the early
onset of facial wrinkle lines
and the development of skin
cancer.
Following are some tips for
smart tanning:
Evaluate your skin's potential
for sun damage. People with a
fair complexion, red or blonde
hair and blue eyes, are most at
risk and require careful and
gradual exposure to the sun in
order to prevent initial sunburn
and later sun damage.
Use a sunscreen with a high
number SPF (sun protection
factor). Particularly for a short
vacation, start with a No. 15
sunscreen for the first few days to
prevent sunburn and then
substitute a lower number
sunscreen to promote more
gradual tanning.
Avoid excessive exposure
during the midday hours (10
a.m.-2 p.m.) when the sun is
strongest.
Wear a hat for golf, tennis or
when prolonged exposure to the
sun is expected.
Use a lip pomade with an
added No. 15 sunscreen to
protect the lips and prevent
recurrences of cold sores which
are frequently triggered by
excessive sun exposure.
If evidence of sunlight allergy
or sun-related skin growths
develop, consult your
dermatologist.
Hair Tip
ince wet hair breaks easily,
treat it gently. Pat hair dry
with a towel. Gently comb out
tangles. Do not use a brush. If
you blow dry your hair, don't
dry it completely. Leave hair
slightly damp and let air dry.
