Don't let Summer get the better of you

Summer is the time lots of us hit the road for distant places. 

When long road trips are on your schedule, be sun-wary.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you're protected from the sun while in  

in your car. Even with the windows up, harmful UV radiation can get through to 

 you. 

It's wise to apply sunscreen, especially on the side of your face exposed the sun. Bring along sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher when you hit the road this season. 

(Although, higher than SPF 35 is pretty much wasted protection. If you can get higher SPF without paying more for it, it won't hurt to use it. It's just not worth a higher price, unless that is the only rating you can buy.) 

I also advise my cosmetic patients in Fort Myers, Florida, to reapply every time they stop to rest or fill up. 

If you are driving, have a great trip.
