Whether you are 15 or 50 years old, your skin is often what other people notice first about you.  Acne, sun damage, wrinkles, all tell a story about you and your health.  The story may not always be true, but it is what other people perceive.  Temporary skin changes are common amongst all of us.  However, when those changes start to leave scars (eg. Acne scars, deep wrinkles that stay at rest, even skin cancers), that is when it becomes much more difficult to treat.  I always suggest prevention as the easiest first line of defence.  Please remember sun protection for our children.
