Skin Care in the Tropics

2/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Dr. Alma Vargas Alvarado, a Puerto Vallarta-based dermatologist, gave a very good presentation on skin care in the tropics at recent Puddle Jump seminar I attended at the Vallarta Yacht Club in Paradise Village.

Several of the points she made was:

  • Not enough sun is just as bad as too much sun since the sun synthesizes much-needed Vitamin D
  • Know the differences between UVA and UVB (UVB is what synthesizes Vitamin D)
  • Don't go overboard in getting too high SPF rating, in most cases 15-30 SPF lotion is adequate
  • Put sun lotion on skin areas which have already received extensive sun, such as face and neck, and leave other areas uncovered
  • Just 15-30 minutes of sun exposure, three times a week will suffice for healthy Vitamin D levels
  • Not all sun lotion brands are good, choose wisely.

Her contact information is shown below if you wish to consult here while in Puerto Vallara.
