sunscreen

I got this information from the dermatologist a while back and just found it among some other papers on the desk and thought I'd share. I know the sunscreen isle can be a little daunting (or maybe that's just me?!) so here's some information to help in making your selections.

-- Use sunscreens that contain ingredients that protect against UVA such as:
      Parsol 1789 (Avobenzone)
      Titanium Dioxide
      Zinc Oxide
      Helioplex
      Mexoryl
-- Use sunscreens that have an SPF of 30 or above.
      Examples:
          Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch with Helioplex
          Coppertone Ultraguard Continuous Spray or Lotion
          Alamay Pure Tints Protective Lip Care
          Coppertone Sport Continuous Spray, SPF 30
-- Daily Sunscreen Recommendations
     Purpose Moisturizer, SPF 15
     Neutrogena Moisturizer, SPF 15
     Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer, SPF 15
