Dr. Bentley from Lakeshore Vein & Aesthetics Clinic joined Nikki Csek for the inaugural episode of the new “Your Best Self with Lakeshore Vein” series at the NowMedia office, where the discussion centred around sun safety and protection.
Dr. Bentley was straight to the point in saying “You should just get a fake tan,” emphasizing the cosmetic and health benefits of avoiding real sun exposure. She recommended using a wide-brimmed hat, rash guard, sunglasses, and an ounce of sunscreen every two hours, noting, “I think we apply a lot less than we’re supposed to.”
The discussion also covered the differences between physical and chemical sunscreens, with Dr. Bentley clarifying the types of UV rays, noting, “UVB are the burning ones…UVA causes melanoma…and sunscreens don’t protect you from UVA.”
