Questions and Answers
1.When should I use a sunscreen?
To help protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun, dermatologists recommend wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher every day in all seasons…in summer and winter, on both cloudy and clear days.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect your skin from both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. UVA rays are believed to be responsible for photoaging — the damage that occurs to the skin from many years of exposure to the sun. It's important to protect your skin from incidental sun exposure like while you're driving in the car, walking outside, etc.

Apply sunscreen to all exposed skin, including lips, ears, backs of hands, and neck. Apply sunscreen generously and evenly before going in the sun, and reapply frequently after swimming, exercising, or sweating. It's also important to look for a sunscreen product that is water resistant.

2.What is the difference between a wrinkle and a fine line?
A wrinkle is defined as a crease or furrow in the skin caused by the natural process of aging, by excessive exposure to the sun's damaging rays, or environmental insults. For example, if you look in the mirror and see crow’s-feet around your eyes ? these are wrinkles. If you stretch a wrinkle in the crow's-feet area, you will still see it.

However, a fine line (or “expression line“) is a small wrinkle that may be caused by the contraction of facial muscles during smiling or frowning. When you stretch the skin of a fine line, the lines are barely visible. When these muscles contract, they pull the skin in, causing a line. And the muscles controlling frown lines between the brows may contract even when the muscle is resting, causing deep lines — which could result in the start of a wrinkle.

3.What causes razor bumps or ingrown hairs?
Hair grows from follicles in the skin. When shaved, the tip of the hair is left with a sharp point. As curly hair grows, this sharp point may emerge from the hair follicle, curve back and pierce the skin. The body reacts to and treats these ingrown hairs just as it would a splinter or other foreign body, producing a pimple-like bump.

Razor bumps can also form when shaving too close causes whiskers to be clipped off below the skin surface. This allows hair to penetrate the side of the hair follicle instead of following its normal path to the skin's surface. This occurs more frequently when the hair follicle is curved. Once razor bumps are formed, continual shaving cuts and slices existing bumps, resulting in a painful and uneven shave and possible worsening of the condition.

4.What is the difference between “waterproof”, “very water resistant”, and “water resistant”?
To be labeled “waterproof” or “very water resistant”, a sunscreen must maintain the same SPF level for 80 minutes in water or after perspiring. Soon the word “waterproof” will be disappearing from package labels and may be replaced by the term “very water resistant”. The words “water resistant” on a label mean that the sunscreen maintains the same SPF level for 40 minutes in water or after perspiring.
5.When should I apply sunscreen and how much should I use?
Dermatologists recommend applying your sunscreen first thing in the morning as part of your daily skin care routine. Apply liberally and evenly to all exposed skin. Many people get poor sun protection simply because they don’t apply enough sunscreen. The average adult should apply approximately one ounce (about the size of a shot glass) to cover the whole body. Keep in mind that certain medications or treatments may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Don’t forget areas such as your lips, ears, feet, and hands. If necessary, give the sunscreen a few minutes to be absorbed into your skin before you go outside.
6.Is it true that skin of color doesn’t exhibit sun damage in the form of lines and wrinkles and therefore, doesn’t need as much sun protection?
Skin of color can exhibit fewer sun-induced “aging” signs such as wrinkles and fine lines. However, sun exposure is still damaging to skin of color, and skin of color is more likely to develop uneven pigmentation from sun exposure compared to light skin. Acne spots and melasma, which are more common in skin of color, can worsen with sun exposure. Therefore, all skin types need to be protected from the damaging effects of the sun.
