New help against skin cancer and premature aging

Steps you can take to protect yourself:

1. If you have to be out in the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., be sure to wear sun protection and protective clothing.

2. Perform your own skin cancer self-examinations.

3. Be sure to visit your dermatologist for yearly skin cancer checkups.

4. Use a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun-protection product.

5. Use sun protection 365 days a year; sun protection isn't just for the beach.

By using a broad-spectrum sunblock with a higher SPF every single day, your skin will be healthier and will result in much less cumulative sun damage over a lifetime.

To help protect your skin, Neutrogena introduced new Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 100+. It's the only sunscreen proven to protect against over 99 percent of sunburn damage with the highest level of photostabilized, broad-spectrum SPF available. Learn more at www.neutrogenaskinhealth.com.

Dermatologists say most people would be better protected from melanoma and prematurely aged skin if they used the proper amount of sunscreen.
