Sunscreens and antioxidants protect against permanent changes in skin texture, tone, deep wrinkles, firmness, age spots (and other forms of hyperpigmentation).

A popular response is to eschew proper sunscreen use for foundations with SPF, or ultra-light/milky sunscreens – but these are not comparable.

A dedicated and generous sunscreen product is required to effect the product tenacity required for stated and lasting sun protection.

Foundations with an SPF of 15 offer only negligible protection. Their SPF in practice is only around 2 because foundations cannot be applied in a quantity adequate to reach their stated level of UVB protection.

An SPF of 2 will have no appreciable value just a few hours of its application, well before the sun has reached its peak.

Would you opt for an SPF of 2 for a day by the beach? Aging UVA rays are stronger and deeper-penetrating than superficially burning UVB rays, and for all intensive purposes they're just as much a feature on a hot summer day as they are on a cold, winter day.

Government drug regulatory agencies such as the FDA and TGA certify product SPF by testing for protection offered by an amount equal to a tablespoon applied to an area the size of the face.

So how do you ensure elegant, reliable sunscreen wear that's on par with the best kind of skincare?

• Choose a modern dermatology product in preference to a salon, spa or chemist/drug store/supermarket item.
  • Among the best are Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30 (also available tinted), Skinceuticals Daily Sun Defense SPF 20 (in a large 90 mL tube) or IS Clinical Moisturizing Treatment Sunscreen (available in tubes, single use boxed packets and tinted versions of both these forms);
• Even the best sunscreens only protect against 45-55% of free radicals generated by routine sun exposure, so ensure you use a primary antioxidant once daily to cover the remaining 45-55% of daily environmental damage.
• Perfect your skin texture with a skin resurfacing agent such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid or proteolytic enzymes – no product, sunscreen or other skin care will apply elegantly to oily, patchy, rough, dry or otherwise uneven skin.
  • Try Jan Marini Day Zyme Gel or Jan Marini Bioclear Lotion underneath Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant or Skinceuticals Daily Sun Defense SPF 20.
• Top up your sun protection once or twice a day with IS Clinical Sunscreen Powder Brush (also perfect for toning down shine prone skin without rendering it dull), available in translucent and tinted versions.

So do you know to protect it, or if already damaged how you can begin to return it to its former glory?

You may be surprised to learn that the solution is not just daily sunscreen use, "natural" skin care or Strivectin.

While certainly very important, daily sunscreen use alone has little visible anti-aging effect on individuals over the age of 25.

The latest Melbourne Dermatology skin care monograph, Your Skin and the Sun: Past, Present, Future presents only the most current and irrefutable prescriptions in a format everyone can grasp.
