Tanorexic or beautifully bronzed, as tans fade, our summer skin follies come into full view. It’s true that when the endless summer days finally come to an end, we’ll all have some reckoning to do, but some of us will have more skin sins to pay for than others.

Dark, lightly toasted, red or just rosy, all sun exposure is damage and your skin has a duty to your overall health to fight back. Unfortunately, the battle scars of your skin’s fight to survive, which appear as brown spots and dullness on your face, often last longer than you’d like. What’s worse, sun damage is cumulative throughout your life … ignoring any brown spots today won’t mean they’ll fade away next summer, they’ll only become more pronounced.

Take a look at these two women*. As a dermatologist, just one look at this picture tells me more about their sun habits than their eating habits. They may be the same age chronologically, but you’d never know from their appearance. The sun is the ultimate aging accelerator and it shows!

Regardless of your past sun sins, there is hope … it is possible to get a fresh start and “clear the slate” of sun damage with a hydroquinone-based regimen to lighten, brighten, exfoliate and protect.

And if you’re craving that sun-kissed glow, don’t fret. Just do what I do and get it the healthy way—from a bottle. Using a sunless tanner to faux tan has real benefits that extend beyond bronzing. As you enjoy the remaining days of summer, just remember to cover up, seek shade and slather on the sunscreen. Practicing safe sun can not only save your looks, it can save your life.

Are You Working on Your Base Tan??

Myth: A Base Tan Can Prevent a Sunburn This time of year we hear time and again about people working on their “base tan” before summer arrives, thinking that catching a few rays now will protect their skin from getting burnt throughout the summer. But, to set the record straight, there is no such thing as a base tan. Any amount and type of sun exposure damages skin, and the damage is cumulative, so a little here and there all adds up and contributes to premature aging and an increased risk of developing skin cancer. As you prepare to bare, your safest bet is to fake a glow and protect from head to toe.

Clean Up Your Act

Letter from the Editor by Derm RF Clean Up Your Act It’s spring time … and you know what that means: time for some good ol’ spring cleaning. Despite the hard work this entails, getting rid of all the dust, clutter and grime is always so rewarding. When it comes to your skin, the same rules apply. Now is the time to clear up your skin, slough away dead skin cells and amp up your skincare routine so you can reveal a more radiant, youthful complexion. This all starts with exfoliation, and when you incorporate gentle exfoliation into your daily or weekly routine, the rewards abound. You’ll notice a brighter, more luminous complexion and, believe it or not, a cleaner house. Yes, you read right. Did you know that 70-90 percent of what we call household dust is really just the dead skin cells we’re constantly shedding? Gross but true, and by exfoliating we can reduce this dust significantly. And what’s more, research shows that each time you exfoliate, the removal of those layers actually triggers key communication with the skin cells below, sending them the message that it’s time to get up and get moving. In other words, the more you exfoliate, the quicker your overall skin cell renewal cycle will be and, ultimately, the more youthful and radiant your skin will look. Tune in to Derm RF this month to get your skin up to speed with the best and most effective ways to exfoliate away the dusty skin clutter so you can spring into spring with brand new skin. From unmasking exfoliation myths to offering you a chance to win skincare prizes, April is all about revealing a brand new you. Sincerely, Your Derm RF Team
