Use Protection: Arm Yourself With Sunscreen
Invariably, there will be those who can’t get away from the sun – whether you’re on vacation, work outdoors or need to spend any amount of time under the sun rays, don’t forget to wear sunscreen.
“For sunscreens choose one with zinc oxide which is now micronized, making it invisible or avo benzene, also known as parsol,” recommends Rodan. “Pick a sunscreen that has either one in it. Also, re-apply sunscreen every few hours if you are being active outdoors.”
