Year-Round Skin Care

No matter what skin type profile you fit, the basic practice of applying a moisturizer and sunscreen should be a year round practice for all skin types. So said Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD, FAAD, a dermatologist, while addressing the American Academy of Dermatology’s SKIN academy.

“That’s because with adequate hydration and use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, the skin has the advantage of protecting itself from free radicals and harmful ultraviolet radiation that cause skin damage, discoloration, premature wrinkles and even skin cancer,” said Dr. Badreshia-Bansal.
