My clients often ask me what they can do to reverse some of the physical and visible signs of the aging process, and my immediate response is "daily sunscreen."

Sun blocks are not all created equal. A minimum of SPF 30, or 45 if closer to the equator, should be used and it should be a broad spectrum, protecting you from UVA and UVB rays. Make sure you apply product 15 to 20 minutes before exposure to the sun! These basic principles should be taught to our children early, as the effects of sun damage are progressive and cumulative throughout life.
