Women's Health Specialists Aesthetic Services brand of sunscreen, Replenishing Sunblock SPF 36 Light Moisture Antioxidant, offers maximum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. "The SPF number included on a product only reflects its UVB coverage," said Lisa Sherrell, Licensed Clinical Aesthetician at Women's Health Specialists Aesthetic Services. "However, that number tells nothing about UVA protection," added Sherrell.

UVB rays are the ones that cause sunburn while UVA rays, which comprivse a vast majority of ultraviolet energy, cause aging of skin. However, under current rules for sunscreen regulation, as long as a formula contains one of several known UVA absorbing ingredients, it can be marketed as a broad spectrum UVA/UVB. "Under the present system, many products do not give adequate UVA protection," warned Sherrell.

Replenishing Sunblock SPF 36 Light Moisture Antioxidant, which offers both UVB protection and 92 percent UVA protection, remains the top selling cosmeceutical at Womens Health Specialists Aesthetic Services. "Wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen will protect you at all times. Since UVA goes through window glass, this includes when you are driving as well as simply being outdoors for as brief as 15 minutes," said Sherrell.

Dermatologist formulated Replenishing Sunblock SPF 36 Light Moisture Antioxidant is created from unique plant peptides that help prevent the breakdown of collagen. It contains botanical peptides that combat collagen breakdown, beta-carotene for its antioxidant properties, and light-diffusing particles that minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other skin imperfections.

"The breakdown of collagen is what leads skin to dry out and wrinkle," said Sherrell. "Our brand of sunblock blocks both UVA and UVB sunrays that can cause premature aging. "UVA rays cause pigmentation, premature aging and some types of skin cancer. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, pre-malignant skin lesions and some types of skin cancer. Replenishing Sunblock SPF 36 not only protects the beauty of your skin, but also protects it from dangerous sun damage," added Sherrell.

Replenishing Sunblock SPF 36 is ideal for daily facial wear. Its botanical antioxidant formulation protects and also lightly hydrates skin. Clear, Zinc-based Replenishing Sunblock SPF 36 Light Moisture Antioxidantdoes not contain oxybenzone, a sunscreen ingredient known as a skin irritant.

"Bear in mind that sunscreen alone does not provide total protection," said Sherrell. "Limiting sun exposure, wearing protective clothing and using sunscreen on a regular basis will reduce your risks of skin damage and other harmful effects due to sun exposure."
