Sunblock with Zinc is Your Skin’s Best Defense Against Those Midlife Age Spots
Summer is just around the corner here in the northeast and it’s time to shop for this seasons’s supply of sunblock. Today’s boomer generation foolishly spent their teenage summers on the beach or poolside, slathered in baby oil, seeking the perfect tan. Today, our skin is showing the results. And our dermatologists are warning us, if we don’t get the right skin protection there will be serious consequences.
No one wants to look older than they are. But skin, especially facial skin, can reveal your age faster than just about any other feature. You can call them “freckles” but when those brown age spots start to grow and pop… it’s time for some serious prevention.

If you’re shopping for sun protection, I suggest you bypass the sunscreen and go directly to the sunblock. Sunscreen does what it says: it screens the harmful rays of the sun, but they still get through, no matter how high the number. What you want to do is BLOCK the sun’s damaging rays, and for that you need to get a product that contains ZINC, the best know blocker on the planet. Remember those lifeguards with their noses covered with white cream? The smart ones used zinc to protect their facial features. Without it, serious sun damage was inevitable. There are a number of products on the market to choose from. Here is the one I prefer.
Solbar Zinc- The Best Product Out There. Goes on light, gets absorbed quickly and feels soft and not sticky. Buy it online. Here is the Dermstore “blurb” about Solbar:
SOLBAR creates high sun protection factor (SPF) sunscreen products for dermatologists and their patients by Person & Covey, Inc., the company that pioneered development of products to protect skin from the harmful effects of UVB and UVA radiation. All Solbar products offer broad-spectrum protection with special appeal and benefits suited to an individual’s type of skin and exposure. Solbar was developed in response to dermatologists’ requests for therapeutic and cosmetic-quality products to protect patients with light or sun-damaged skin, people who live in sun-intensive areas, people who spend extended time in the sun, and those with photosensitization caused by medical conditions or medication.
Check them out at Dermstore. It’s a great product!
