Introducing the Future of Sun Protection
Protection Starts with Education
Sun exposure at work could lead to one skin cancer death a week, according to researchers based at Imperial College London. They further estimate that there are 48 deaths and 241 cases of melanoma skin cancer each year in Britain caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun at work. Dr Lesley Rushton, lead researcher from […]
Children with prolonged vitamin D deficiency in the first decade of life are more likely to develop asthma and allergies, according to a new study. It has also revealed a “dark side” to the highly successful anti-skin cancer messaging, says Professor Katie Allen, of the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute.
Uninsured, immigrant and minority communities in the United States may not be as aware of skin cancer as they should be, a recent study suggests, Reuters reports: “At a medical clinic in southern Florida, researchers surveyed members of these communities and found that nearly 25 percent had never heard of skin cancer, or melanoma, the […]
There is an ongoing need for physicians to educate their patients about the need for protection against both UV-A and UV-B radiation in preventing skin cancer and sunburns, a 20015 study from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine suggests: “Despite the recent changes in labeling mandated by the US Food and Drug Administration, this survey […]

About Sunscreen
Doctor’s Orders
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight is the most prominent and ubiquitous physical factor in our natural environment responsible both for photoaging of the skin and for developing skin cancer. The sun-seeking habits in our populations contributed strongly both to the increase in skin cancer observed in the last two decades and to photodamage. It is highly recommended for both children over the age of six months and grown-ups to use effective sunscreen under exposure for UV radiation. At the same time it is important to achieve sufficient UV stimulation in the skin for production of vitamin D. Vitamin is essential for absorption of calcium from the gut and plays very important role for bone health. Effective and reliable measure of UV index under sun exposure is therefore important tool to obtain enough UV stimulation in the skin for synthesis of vitamin D but on the same time to avoid sunburn.
