Personalized Photoprotection Based on Patient Factors
Author(s):
An expert discusses how dermatologists guide patients in selecting sunscreens based on skin type (fair skin, skin of color, sensitive skin), coexisting conditions, and environmental exposure (blue light, heavy sun). They recommend sun protection factor (SPF) levels and key ingredients and address adherence barriers. Beyond sunscreen, protective clothing, antioxidants, and physical blockers help shield against visible light and infrared radiation.
