Sun Protection
We all want healthy skin, so we tapped
Dr. Natasha Sandy –the dermatologist
responsible for Charlamagne Tha God’s
luminous glow—for her best tips on bright
and beautiful skin. Here she tells us how to
protect our skin this summer and improve
its overall health.
What happens to our skin in the summer?
Several things happen. Your body tempera-
ture rises and you start to have increased
oil production. Some people may notice
that their skin will start to flake in the
summer and that comes from excess
oiliness. The excess oil creates pieces
of fungus on the skin and the way skin
responds to that is to flake. In the summer
we’re generally exposed to UVB or UVA
rays. UVA rays cause aging and UVB rays
cause burning. We’re exposed to both
throughout the year, but they’re more
prominent in the Summer, so some people
tend to get sunburned.

People don’t associate sun
with sun damage. Even
though you may think [a tan]
looks nice, the sun does cause
damage to the skin and
ultimately it gives the skin a
dull appearance. So sun
protection and sunscreen is
very important in the
Summer. The standard
recommendation is SPF 30,
but you also need to look at
the ingredients. If you have
SPF 30, that gives you 95%
protection against the rays.
If you get SPF 100, you get
97% protection, so there’s not
much of a difference between
30, 50 and 100.
