James Fairfield asked:
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the great sunscreen speech hoax. In case you missed it: in 1997, everybody seemed to be quoting Kurt Vonnegut’s advice to graduating MIT students that famously began, “Wear sunscreen.” The trouble was – Vonnegut didn’t write that or any other MIT commencement address. The only true part of the proposition, then and still? Sun damage is real. Skin protection is essential. Wear sunscreen!
It’s one of the most frequent questions I get. Patients ask me all the time: Do I really need to wear sunscreen? And the answer is, “Yes, no matter who you are, where you live, where you work, you really need to wear sunscreen every day.” Why am I so determined to get everybody slathered with skin protection? Well, nobody is in a better position than a dermatologist to see the harsh effects of solar radiation on human skin.
Most people know that exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun can lead to skin cancer, especially in fair-skinned people with light eye and hair color. But it’s not only pale folks who are at risk: multiple sunburns, for any skin color or type, raise the risk of skin cancer. And sunscreen really can effectively prevent sunburn, if you use it right.
Short of cancer, though, years of sun exposure gradually change our skin in ways that make us look – well, old. Yes, sunlight can promote premature aging of the skin, accelerating natural aging processes, weakening collagen, and causing the elastic fibers in skin to uncoil like a worn-out bedspring. And then – well, you know the rest. Your skin sags. Gravity takes over, the skin can’t hold out, so down it comes.
Sun exposure also dries out skin and reduces its ability to hold moisture. The resulting lines and wrinkles sharpen the appearance of aging. And the cute, charming freckles that the sun brings out in childhood morph into the brown spots and discoloration that plague us as we get older.
So how can we use sunscreen to get the skin protection we need? First, be sure you get the right product. The worst sun damage comes from UVA rays. UVA has a longer wavelength, so it can penetrate deeper into the skin, causing the aging effects we associate with sun exposure. We now know that UVA exposure also blocks your skin’s natural repair mechanisms, so that previous damage and pre-cancers cannot be reversed. It’s UVA radiation that can give you a sunburn on a cloudy day – it travels right through the clouds. And it can go through the glass of your car windows, which is why we dermatologists see the most skin cancers on the head and neck, on the left. Look at the left side of your neck. Do you see brown spots? When you were 13, they didn’t have UVA protection. That’s the ray that’s aging you.
So I always urge my patients to make sure they have the right product, and to use it correctly. First, look for a bottle or tube of sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays (UVB is the one that causes burning between 10 am and 3 pm). More tips for effective sunscreen use:
Be sure you get a sunscreen with an SPF number of at least 30
Apply it liberally, about 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure
Reapply every one to two hours, especially if you’re going into the water or perspiring a lot
Once you have the sunscreen part down, there’s more you can do to protect yourself from the sun:
Limit your sun exposure, especially during the high sun hours of 10 am to 3 pm
Seek shade can whenever possible
Find sun protective clothing – it offers effective protection while you’re outdoors
Throw away your sunscreen from last year and purchase new products
That last point needs some extra emphasis. Most people don’t realize that these old sunscreens chemically break down. Unless there’s an expiration date on the bottle, you can’t assume they’ll provide the label’s SPF protection for more than a year.
For the take-home message, I’d just like to elaborate on the advice of journalist Mary Schmich (she’s the one who really wrote the “Vonnegut speech”), and urge everybody to use sun protection that blocks both UVA and UVB to their exposed skin each and every day. In other words – “Wear sunscreen!”

I have researched botanicals for over 20 years and have came across much valuable information. I am fascinated by the power of herbs. I found that herbs can naturally improve many skin conditions.
You have Hidden “Assault Intruders” in your body. Herbs can blast them away.
There are so many skin ailments in our society today. There are habits that we engage in that may be causing many of our skin problems.
Many have acne problems who blame these unsightly “Zits” on oil build-up, dirt and clogged pores. These may be the least likely suspects. The major problem of many skin ailments is “Toxin build-up” in the body. Many of these toxins come from the very foods that we eat. There are hidden “Assault intruders” in the very foods we eat. And yes, the industry knows that they are in there and that they are bad for you. Hence, why your body tries to spit them out.
Our bodies are bombarded with 100’s even thousands of these “assault intruders” everyday. Toxins can come from our environment. But, mainly from the foods that we are eating. Take the time to read the ingredient labels on your food purchases before thinking about putting them in your mouth. If you can’t pronounce an ingredient, then there is a good chance it is not organic food. It is an un-welcomed chemical additive. Next time you see one of these intruders listed on your ingredient label, Google it. Find out what it is. See what it is used for and the negative chemical reactions that it can have on your body.
When there is an overload of toxins in your body, what your body tries to do is get rid of them. Some may come out by regular everyday elimination. But, many toxins are bombarding your system every day and the regular everyday elimination may not be enough.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ. The skin, through it’s pores helps eliminate toxins. The more you sweat, the more your body is ridding itself of these intruders. But, considering the overload of these “assault intruders”, the skin tries to eliminate such huge amounts that skin problems do occur physically on your skin. One large cause of acne is body toxin waste showing up on the surface of your skin.
Herbs to the Rescue.
There are herbs that even when taken topically through the skin can eliminate toxins right out the skin and giving you a healthier look and radiant skin.
Here are some beneficial herbs that can eliminate these toxins, right out of your skin. Acne can be easily cleared up in a matter of a few days, as well as many of your skin ailments.
Dandelion has been given a bad wrap by the media and weed killer industries. Dandelion is a very therapeutic herb for our body. Dandelion is not an unsightly weed with no purpose, but to haunt your lawns. Did you know that dandelion eliminates cancer cells from your body when taken internally ? Topically, it is beneficial in soothing and repairing sun-damaged skin. Dandelion with Sage, which is another therapeutic herb eliminates toxins out of the skin and clears acne.

In my view there’s some powerful reasons for todays woman to use pure and holistic skincare. One of the best reasons is that the skincare and cosmetics industry has no requirement to submit their products to a regulatory or goverment body to show that the ingredients are safe. And so there are many suspect ingredients in modern skincare products. Pure skincare products are safe, and effective.
However whether you’re looking for pure skincare products, or holistic skincare products or cosmetics that are made from totally natural ingredients, you need to understand a couple of things.
Firstly, what does “natural” or “holistic” or “pure” really mean? It isn’t possible to use 100% natural ingredients in any skin care product, and in fact that shouldn’t be the goal of any cosmetics and skincare product manufacturer.
Any ingredient that is natural should be naturally occurring, for example is derived from plants. However it isn’t possible to actually use that ingredient in a skincare product unless it is processed in some way, because it needs to be taken out of the plant in which it is found and put into a form that is useable in the product, and that requires some form of processing.
However just because it has to undergo a form of processing to extract it from a plant does not imply that it is no longer effective or safe. And it also doesn’t disqualify it from being “natural” or “holistic” or “pure”. It just means that it has to be processed.
So there isn’t, in effect, a 100% pure skincare product, or 100% holistic skincare product available.
Is this an argument to justify buying any old skincare product? Absolutely not. There are some quite nasty ingredients in many of the mainstream big brand name skincare and cosmetics products on our shelves. The companies that manufacture these are not required to prove their safety before they are used in cosmetics, and many should be avoided. Parabens, Dioxane and Diethanolamine are just 3 ingredients found in various skincare and cosmetics products that are considered to be less than safe. And in some cases are suspected of causing cancer. Or skin irritation, for example.
So although there is no 100% pure skincare product on the market, there are excellent natural skincare products available. Yes they use ingredients extracted from plants by a form of extraction process, but these ingredients are tested and proven safe and, particularly, effective skincare ingredients. Something that cannot be said about many mainstream skincare products and cosmetics that so many people regularly use.
Here’s a few ingredients that are fairly considered to be natural or pure ingredients and can be found in the best “holistic” skincare products, or “pure” skincare products.
Phytessence Wakame. Extracted from a seaweed native to Japan. This seaweed is a form of kelp and is commonly found in the Japanese diet, one of the reasons the Japanese seem to have such good skin right into older age.
Cynergy TK which is a substance which is extracted from the wool of sheep, and which plays an important role in overall skin health. Cynergy TK has been shown to actually stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in our skin.
Collagen and elastin are 2 of the most important substances found in healthy skin. They are both proteins and are both involved in maintaining elasticity and firmness of skin, both responsible for producing great looking, younger looking skin. As we age our bodies produce less collagen and elastin than our skin needs to remain supple, and so any skincare product which promotes the production of collagen and elastic will work extremely well as an effective skincare product.
So in conclusion. Is the claim of 100% holistic skincare, or 100% pure skincare a con? No, not at all. There are both powerful reasons not to buy mainstream regular skincare products which you will routinely see on the shelves now, and there are also powerful reasons to buy pure skincare, or holistic skincare products. Yes they have some “processed” ingredients, but this does not detract from the fact that they are derived from safe, and effective, natural ingredients. And they work extremely well.
And whilst the companies that make the mainstream products are household names, the company that makes skincare products with such ingredients as Phytessence Wakame and Cynergy TK is not a household name at all. You’ve probably never heard of it. But you need to.
