Does sunscreen provide adequate protection?
Sunscreen has evolved dramatically over the years. I am a consultant to Coppertone, and work with their scientists on the development of sunscreen products and ways to make them more attractive to individuals, because we know that using sunscreen is a nuisance. There are now many products that go on more easily and leave your hands less sticky. But the bottom line is that there is a huge amount of benefit provided by sunscreen. It does prevent the damaging ultraviolet rays from injuring the skin. It is important to look for broad spectrum sunscreens that provide protection against UVA and UVB rays.
