2 Some Facts Who should be protected? Why should we protect ourselves? When should we protect ourselves? How to protect yourself? How to apply sunscreen? What to do in case of sunburn? What about tanning beds? How to get a healthy tan look?
3 The presence of the sun is essential for life on Earth We need the sun for light, warmth, Vitamin D.BUT 1 in 5 Americans are developing skin cancer Only 3 in 10 teens who lie out in the sun say they always use sun block Certain medications can make our skin more sensitive to the sun s UV rays
4 We should ALL be protected from the sun This includes infants, adults, elderly, light skin and dark skin people People who are utilizing medication that increase sensitivity to the sun Birth control pills Antibiotics High Blood Pressure medications Cancer Chemotherapy St. Johns wart
5 People with lighter skin are more likely to develop skin cancer as a result of sun exposure Although dark skinned people are more protected because they have more melanocytes, many still develop skin cancer In fact, when African Americans develop skin cancer, the incidence of morbidity and mortality is more likely. In other words, the cancer is usually more serious and severe
6 Patients using skin care products containing benzyl peroxide should protect their skin from the sun Benzyl peroxide increases the skin s sensitivity to the sun
7 Sun protection is the easiest and most effective way to prevent skin cancer Sun burns hurt, may cause skin peeling and may leave a red mark Harmful UV rays may burn the eyes and contribute to the development of cataracts and melanoma
8 This is a picture of a sunburn, photographed 2 days after a 5-hour sun exposure. The dark red area is sunburned. The lighter-colored skin was covered by the woman's suit during exposure.
9 This is a picture of a blister on a person s shoulder. The blister is caused by over exposure to the sun. This is a severe sunburn.
10 This is a picture of sunburn skin peeling due to unprotected exposure to the sun
11 These are pictures of Actinic Chelitis. This damage to the lip is also known as sailor s lip or farmer s lip.
12 Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer, affecting approximately one million Americans each year Shiny bump on hands, neck and head Least deadly skin cancer Anyone with a history of unprotected sun exposure
13 UVB are invisible and short length rays that may be absorbed by the outermost layer of the skin UVB rays are responsible for red skin after a sunburn, freckling and brown aging spots UVA rays are longer than UVB rays and penetrate more deeper layers of skin UVA rays are responsible for sagging and wrinkling of skin Both UVA and UVB may cause skin cancer
14 Our skin should be protected from the sun year round, not just in the summer Even on cloudy days our skin should be protected We should take special caution on sunny days between 10 am and 4 pm
15 Avoid the sun between 10am and 4 pm Wear sun block with SPF of 15 or higher Wear a wide brimmed hat Wear sunglasses to protect eyes Dry clothing provides more protection than wet clothing
16 Sunscreen are available in creams, lotions and gels and contain chemicals that absorb UV radiation Conventional sunscreen only protects against UVB rays Sunblock also available in creams and lotions reflects UV radiation. Sunblock protects against UVA and UVB radiation
17 SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor SPF is a measure of the amount of UVB radiation that can reach the skin before it burn The higher the SPF, the greater the UVB protection
18 A person who normally burns after 10 minutes of sun exposure will be protected for 150 minutes when sunscreen SPF 15 is applied SPF greater than 15 may work well for people who have lightly pigmented skin, live at high altitudes, or work or play outdoors much of the day
19 Select a sunscreen or sunblock that is appropriate for you Sunblock or sunscreen must be applied 30 minutes before exposure to sun Sunblock or sunscreen should be applied before moisturizer and make-up Sunblock or sunscreen must be reapplied minutes after exposure
20 Further reapplication of sunscreen or sunblock is needed if a person is heavily sweating or swimming (non-waterproof) 2mg/cm 2 is the amount that should be applied to uncovered body 1/4 to 1/3 a teaspoon for uncovered face
21 Don t forget to apply sunscreen to nose, ears and feet! Don t forget to protect eyes and lips! Don t forget, sunscreen and sunblock allow for vitamin D production
22 Only 9% of people know that the sun can damage their eyes The same harmful UV radiation that causes skin damage also causes eye damage Cataracts or clouding of the eye lens may be a result of this exposure photokeratitis or a painful eye burn may occur (cornea)
23 Pick wraparound sunglasses Glasses must protect against UVA and UVB rays Lable should indicate that glasses provide 99 or 100% UV radiation protection Do not assume that pricier sunglasses provide better protection
24 The sun s UV rays have a significant impact on the lips The skin on the lips is very thin and vulnerable to the sun s UV rays Cumulative lifetime exposure to the sun may result in a condition known as Actinic Cheilitis sometimes known as farmers lip or sailors lip 6-10% of cases develop into cancer
25 Over 70% of people do not protect their lips from the sun Pick a lip balm that is at least SPF 15 Pick a lip balm that defends against UVA/UVB rays
26 Old Wives tales. Many of them work Apple cider vinegar Apply apple cider vinegar to the burn with a cotton ball, or make a cooling compress for a large area to relieve the pain. Tea Make some tea, cool, and apply to the burn.
27 Pharmacists are excellent sources of help when considering what products to select for skin and lip sun protection. Pharmacists can help in the selection of products for sunburns. Optometrists will prescribe sun safe vision wear
28 Do not apply butter to the sunburn. This is a false remedy which can prevent healing and damage skin Butter prevents the heat from escaping.
29 Sunburns heal with time To relieve pain, many non-prescription medications can be used Some of these medications include: benzocaine, lidocaine, acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen ( Motrin). Some inflammation and itching can be relieved by applying hydrocortisone cream
30 A skin self exam test should be done in a well lit room every month Get to know the moles and skin marks on your body report any changes to your physician Examine front and back of body Raise arms and examine underarm Sit down, examine the back of your legs Check the soles of your feet and between the toes Examine neck and scalp and hands Examine lower back and buttocks
31
32 63% of teens believe they look better when they have a tan 59% of teens believe that people in general look healthier with a tan 39% of adults like tans Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a healthy tan!!!
33 Tanning oil and tanning lotion is designed to amplify the effects of ultraviolet rather than block them
34 Ultraviolet (UV) light bulbs emitting UV radiation that causes the tanning The UV bulbs emit both UVA and UVB rays
35 Sunless tanning is also known as UVfree tanning. A substance that contains a chemical is applied on the skin to make it look like traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s
36 The most effective sunless tanning products available are those with dihydroxyacetone (DHA) The tan from using these agents are a result of a reaction between the DHA and the amino acids of the dead layer of skin No UV exposure is needed to initiate the color change Tan lasts 3 to 10 days
37
38 UVA and UVB rays are responsible for skin, eye and lip burns Sun safety is the easiest and most effective way to prevent skin cancer and lip cancer Protect yourself from the sun with sunblock or sunscreen that protect against UVA and UVB rays. These products need an SPF of at least 15 Protect eyes with appropriate sunglasses Protect lips with appropriate lip balms Avoid tanning beds To get a tanned look, use sunless tanning products with DHA
