A Florida dermatologist gives every patient a flyer that starts with the headline:

It states that this year there will be over I million new cases of skin cancer - one million cases! - and this increases every year! It recommends that EVERYONE wear a sunscreen EVERY DAY! They have a saying in their office that says, "The first sign of skin cancer is a tan." The paper also recommends that everyone have a checkup with a dermatologist once a year. Most forms of skin cancer can be treated if they are caught early. Anyone who has had severe sunburn at some point in their life is a likely candidate for skin cancer.

We at Kara Vita feel that the best way to protect yourself and your family is with a sunscreen that lasts a full 8 hours. Seldom will people reapply their sunscreen during the day.

Kara Vita's Face Essential with SPF15 provides essential, long-lasting moisturization and all-day sunscreen protection. It's rubproof, sweatproof and waterproof for up to 8 full hours. It is light, rich in botanicals and Vitamin E, and is designed to be worn under makeup. We recommend that you use this product twice a day in combination with an antioxidant treatment. Together they will give you the best anti-aging and sunscreen protection with the highest quality of essential daily moisturizers available on the market today.

A good general rule of thumb on the sunscreens: An SPF15 is fine for most people. Typically, it works well for people going in and out of the house, running errands, or being inside most of the day. For any prolonged exposure to the sun - golfing, gardening, tennis, working outside, etc. - we recommend All day Sun care SPF 30.
