Expert Tips from Proper MedSpa in Pembroke Pines, FL:
In sunny South Florida, daily sun exposure is a fact of life—especially here in Pembroke Pines. At Proper MedSpa, part of Proper Health and Wellness, we know that healthy skin starts with smart protection. One of the most effective tools in your skincare arsenal? Sunscreen.
Whether you’re hitting the beach or stepping out to run errands, applying sunscreen daily can help protect your skin from harmful UV rays, premature aging, and serious health risks like skin cancer.
Why Sunscreen is Essential for Skin Health?
Sunscreen shields your skin from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Without protection, your skin is vulnerable to:
Sunburns
Premature aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots
Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
Skin cancer, including melanoma
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day can reduce your risk of skin cancer and help prevent early signs of aging.
Choosing the Right Sunscreen for Your Skin
Not all sunscreens are created equal. Here’s what to look for:
Broad-Spectrum Protection: Shields against both UVA (aging rays) and UVB (burning rays).
SPF 30 or Higher: SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays. Higher SPFs offer slightly increased protection.
Water-Resistant Formulas: Ideal if you plan to sweat or swim.
Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreens:
Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are gentle and ideal for sensitive skin.
Chemical sunscreens absorb quickly and layer well under makeup.
Our team at Proper MedSpa can recommend medical-grade sunscreens specifically formulated for your skin type and lifestyle.
Proper Application = Maximum Protection
- Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before sun exposure
- Use a nickel-sized amount for your face and a shot glass–full for your body
- Reapply every 2 hours, or after swimming/sweating
- Don’t forget easily missed areas like your ears, neck, hands, and lips
