A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Do you always remember to wear sunscreen when going outdoors?

After seeing this 69 year old gentleman  you'll want to make sure you do.

In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), researchers learned the photoaging effects of chronic UVA exposure. This gentleman was a truck driver for over 25 years, thus the persistent sun exposure on the left side of his face.

In the winter we sometimes think that because it's overcast or cloudy we don't have to wear sunscreen. After seeing this man's picture, hopefully we'll remember to wear sunscreen whenever we're exposed to the sun.
