I'm always preaching to my family, friends and co-workers the benefits of wearing sunscreen. I've learned so much about sun protection as a beauty editor, but there are an alarming amount of people who brave the UV rays without applying sunblock. (Isn't skin cancer scary enough?)
On my campaign for sunscreen, I've heard just about every excuse as to why it's "okay" to skip it. So I reached out to Dr. Wendy Roberts, a board certified dermatopathologist, to take on the anti-sunscreen argument. Read on for Dr. Roberts' top five reasons why we should all amp up on SPF products, as well as her take on spray-on sunscreens and medications that increase risk of sun burns.
What straight-up advice (or words of caution) can you offer people who never wear sunscreen?
You will regret not having worn sunscreen when you look at your skin compared to friends and family who have worn daily sunscreen 20 years from now.
