Dr. Voss' short list of things to remember about sunscreen:

1. Look for sunscreens that have Mexoryl XL, Mexoryl SX, Parsol 1789, Zinc oxide or Titanium oxide as ingredients to enhance UVA protection,
2. be GENEROUS - use about a handful for your whole body. Anything less and you don't get the advertised SPF,
3. use it OFTEN - re-apply every 2-3 hours when in the sun,
4. use at least SPF30, and
5. take 1000 - 2000 IUs of Vitamin D every day.
