Sunscreen Protects Better than a Beach Umbrella
7/08/19 Sunscreen By Dr. Mary Noël George

Sunscreen Protects Better than a Beach Umbrella

A study released in 2017 showed that a sunscreen protects against sunburn better than a beach umbrella!

Protect Your Skin with Sunscreen

During 3.5 hours of sun exposure, 78% of people got a sunburn while sitting under a beach umbrella while only 25% did while using sunscreen. Reflected and indirect rays expose the skin to UV light even when in the shade.

Our Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. George recommends that you should seek the shade, and most importantly always wear sunscreen!

What Our Patients Are Saying

Dr Katherine M. Moritz is the bomb-diggity!!! She’s very professional, kind, and most of all caring for my concerns and needs. Today, I walked out of her office with my son in my arms in tears of joy. She removed a cyst on my eyelid that had been there for over a year now. In a matter of seconds, she painlessly had it removed. When I looked in the bathroom mirror, I ran back into her office thanking the staff and giving her my gratitude and thanks. I swear, I cried when I got into my car all over again. This place is a whole vibe, they are culturally competent, and she’s helping me live my wishes in my 40’s, that I had in high school. Dr. Moritz is like the fountain of youth, she’s reversing my aging and I feel more confident in myself than I did in my 20’s.
