Top 10 Causes of Unhealthy Skin

As summer approaches, it may be the perfect time to put on those shorts and lay out in the sunshine. But when heading outside, it is important to avoid overexposure to the sun and always apply sunscreen. Unprotected sun exposure causes many negative side-effects such as sunburn, wrinkled skin, early aged skin and risk of skin cancer. UVA and UVB rays from the sun produce visible skin damage that has lasting and often dangerous effects. Before going out in the sun, apply sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30. New York City Dermatologist and Dermatologist Surgeon Dennis Gross also said it is necessary to apply sunscreen on all parts of exposed skin, including often missed areas such as the hairline, jawline and ears.
