Everyone wants to have a "healthy glow," but what does that mean when conflicting information is available about the need for exposure to the sun for vitamin D, potentially harmful chemicals in sunscreen and concerns about skin cancer. Dr. Hoepner will present the fundamentals of each compelling sun-related issue. Contradictory information about sun exposure will be compared. The long term effects of sun exposure in childhood will be discussed. Attention will be given to the increased marketing of SPF in cosmetics. Guidance will be provided on what consumers should be paying attention to when they purchase SPF-containing skincare and other products.
