Why You Should Wear Sunscreen

As if this photo isn’t shocking enough to get you to put on more sunscreen, you’re also probably wondering about the history of this individual’s sun exposure. Well, the patient is a 69-year-old man who has been driving a truck for 28 years. Therefore, his left “driving” side was significantly more exposed to both UVA and UVB rays than the right side of his face. Unfortunately, the patient experienced much more sagging and wrinkling on the left side of his face, commonly known as photoaging. As a result, the dermatologist who reported this case stressed the importance of wearing broad spectrum sunscreen since UVA rays can penetrate through glass.

Scary!! Reapplying now and it's night time lol! For sunscreen, I'd recommend titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the main ingredients! Also, baby formulas are the best and healthiest for you! This comment has been removed.
