This wonderful cartoon says it all. I'm asked all the time what the best anti-aging product or treatment is. I always answer, "The best product is your sun-screen, and the best treatment is sun avoidance!"

Sun Tips

Recognize, treat and prevent heatstroke. Signs of heatstroke include dry and warm skin- victims don't perspire; a strong, fast pulse; very high temperature and strange, perhaps confused, behavior. If left untreated the victim could lose consciousness. Call an ambulance immediately. Move the person into a cooler area and apply cool water to the skin. Never leave anyone unattended in a car in the summer. Temperatures inside a car can reach 160 degrees and quickly can cause death.

SUN SAFETY 101

Skin cancer, if not completely preventable, can at least be successfully treated if caught early. The following can help you protect yourself.

Stay in.
Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.

Cover up.
Wear long pants and shirts with sleeves. If the sun can't get to you, it can't damage your skin.

Wear a hat.
Wearing a hat with a 4-inch brim will protect your face and neck.

Make it routine.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day and start putting it on your kids at age 6 months.

Go higher.
If you'll be outside for any length of time, use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30, but never less than SPF 15.

Re-apply.
Even waterproof sunscreens need to be re-applied every two hours for maximum protection in the midday sun.

Look for changes.
Growing, bleeding, crusting, or otherwise changing spots on the skin could indicate a problem. These include asymmetry (one half unlike the other half), irregular borders, varied color (shades of brown, black, or even white, blue or red) and spots which are larger than a pencil eraser.

Get to know your skin.
Practice skin self-exams to become familiar with your body's "topography." Once a month, examine your body for moles and dark spots, making note of those that appear to have changed and seeing your dermatologist immediately. Change does not necessarily mean skin cancer, but get them checked out to put your mind at ease.

Are You At Risk?

Certain factors may predispose you to getting skin cancer, even if you've never spent time in the sun. Some of these sun- and gene-related risk factors include:

Fair skin

Light hair

Tendency to freckle

Tendency to burn easily

A family history of the disease

Chronic sun exposure throughout life

Blistering sunburns as a child or adolescent

Prevention!

Wear loose-fitted clothing. This is important, especially around the head and neck., and stay in well-venteialated areas. When hiking a wet cool cloth around the neck can bring the body temperature down.

Wear your sunscreen! You'll need an SPF of at least 30, mineral based is best. Reapply often to keep the skin protected.

Practice water safety. Always know where young children are at, especially near water. Make sure swimming areas are safe, and wear goggles to protect eyes when swimming in chlorinated water.

Be safe. Wear shoes when in parks to avoid cuts from glass and other objects.
