Owner Szanne Perry is a licensed esthetician in Southern California with over 15 years experience. "My concern is the harmful effects of UV radiation such as skin damage, skin cancer, and increased aging of the skin."

It is recommend to use Sun Protection products on exposed skin with a SPF of at least 15. Look for products with UVA+ UVB protection and reapply after swimming or sweating and during the day according to manufacturers guidelines. It is also recommended to use sunglasses that filter UVA & UVB rays. Eyes exposed to these rays could develop cataracts. Other sources of information American Academy of Dermatology
