Wednesday, July 7, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER C3 UV damage HOT SUMMER SAVINGS For good looks and good health this summer and in summers to come, experts urge you to defend your skin against unnecessary ultravio­ let exposure. Damaging UVA rays are present 365 days of the year (even on cloudy days) and penetrate deep into the skin, making skin look old before its time by destroying collagen and elastin levels -- the things that keep skin look­ ing firm, healthy and young. Completely avoiding ultraviolet rays is difficult if not impossible, especially during the summer months, but you can defend yourself against them by apply­ ing an effective broad-spectrum product daily. Much of our exposure to UV light comes as the result of day-to-day, year round activities, so daily protection via a moisturizer plus sunscreen is a good idea. To determine your probable risk of photoaging and help you determine how much care you need to take to protect your skin from the aging effects of UV rays, circle the answers that best apply to you and add up your score. In general, the fairer your skin and the more time you spend outdoors, the more need you have for UV defense. Test your UV I.Q. 1. How would you describe your skin? a. always bums easily, never tans (20 points) b. always bums easily, tans minimal­ ly (15 points) c. bums minimally, always tans well (8 points) d. rarely bums, tans easily (4 points) e. never bums, deeply pigmented (1 point) 2.
