Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. Kay, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon.

It's getting warm outside. Let's talk about my sunscreen secrets.

So what are the top reasons you should use sunscreen? And what are the secrets about sunscreen?

And the myths. The myths, too. Let's break down those myths. So I think the one of the most important

things you can do to prevent aging changes of your

face is to use a great sunscreen and use it every day like it's your religion. Whether it's a

cloudy day, a foggy day, overcast day, whether you're going to be indoors, whether or not you

think you need it, you should use sunscreen. F fully 90% of our aging changes occur from the

sun and the damage that it caused 90% of aging that's right i'll say it again 90% of your aging

comes from the sun and the sun gives you modeling dispigmentation it kind of ruins your skin texture, it breaks down your collagen so fast.

So although I love to bathe in the sun, I am always going to protect the good real estate of my

face with a premium sunscreen.

And then I'm going to use a good sunscreen on my extremities.

I'm going to let my vitamin D absorption occur in areas like my back or the legs

There are two forms of ultraviolet light that infect the skin after exposure.

There's UVA and UVV.

UVA light has a longer wavelength that penetrates into their thickest layers of skin called
