Sunscreen
With nearly 500,000 new cases of skin cancer yearly, growing awareness of sun exposure has led to advances in sun protection.
The sun produces two types of ultraviolet radiation that affect the skin. UVB, also know as the burning ray, is the shorter wavelength and is more damaging. UVA, the aging ray, is longer and is damaging to the skin as well.
There are two main types of sunscreen: physical and chemical. Physical sunscreens, which are less irritating, work by reflecting or blocking the sun's rays. Chemical sunscreens absorb the ultraviolet rays. Most sunscreens today contain both, known as broad spectrum sunscreen.
A sunscreen’s SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates how long someone can stay out in the sun without burning. A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 lets you stay out in the sun 15 times longer than without sunscreen.

Anthelios 40 SPF 40
by La Roche-Posay
Anthelios 40 is a UVA/UVB sunscreen for all skin types. FDA approved and water resistent, Anthelios 40 contains Mexoryl SX, a unique organic UV filter that recharges for longer protection. Other UVA filters are not photostable, meaning once they absorb UV rays, they lose their effectiveness. The sunscreens in Anthelios 40 absorb the sun's radiation, then safely emit it in order to absorb more. This gives Anthelios 40 the highest photostability, staying up to 90% active even after 5 hours. Non-comedogenic, non-whitening, fragrance-free and suitable for even the most sensitive of skin, Anthelios 40 helps protect against sunburn, hyperpigmentation, premature aging and skin cancer.
