Our Dermatologist Says “Don’t Forget to Pack your Sunscreen!”

Dr. Dupati’s #1 Vacation Recommendation

“Don’t Forget to Pack your Sunscreen!”

Almost every other patient has mentioned an upcoming trip or recent trip at their visit.

It has been exciting to hear that life, although not totally normal yet, is slowly returning to some sense of normalcy.

I have heard patients mention that they are going to some of these amazing locations: Cancun, France, Italy, India, China, and of course Disneyland!

Even though COVID-19 is the hot travel topic of the day, don’t underestimate the power of the sun and the damaging effects of its UV radiation on your skin. I strongly recommend using a broadband sunscreen with SPF 30 and higher every two hours while you are outside, and once in the morning if you plan to stay indoors. Keep in mind that windows block UVB radiation, but do not block UVA radiation.

Feel free to ask Dr. Dupati more about sunscreens and skin cancer prevention at your next appointment!

And don’t forget to have fun! You deserve it!
