Charleston Women Magazine spoke with JAG Medical Cosmetics in downtown Summerville to get some advice on the topic. The business confirmed that they are seeing skin correction procedures more often. Dr. Jared Guichard advised on skin protection, “Start now. It’s never too late to start protecting your skin from premature aging and the harmful rays that can come with our fantastic sunshine.” The emphasis on and information about skin care has grown tremendously in the last half-century. We know being in the sun too much and not taking the proper precautions can have lasting consequences. Small preventative measures can deliver significant benefits. The use of an umbrella, sunshade, beach tent, et cetera, is probably one of the best ways to be able to enjoy the sunshine and still protect your beautiful outer layer. The sheer fact that not taking precautions promotes premature aging should be enough. However, prolonged sun exposure without protecting yourself can lead to skin cancer, which is nothing to take lightly. With that in mind, it’s important to regularly check our skin for new or changing spots as a means of early skin cancer detection. If a freckle or mole begins to change in color, shape or texture, reach out to your primary care physician immediately. If you’ve already experienced the drawbacks of our flashy neighbor in the sky and feel like you could use assistance, JAG Cosmetics offers many sun correction treatments and would be happy to help. Everyone loves summer and is anxiously anticipating getting outside and feeling its warmth on their skin. You don’t have to avoid the sunshine like a vampire (unless you actually sparkle in the light). Taking precautions, preparing in advance and being intentional about products applied to the skin can help us all throw the proper amount of shade, in the best way. After all, we all love a little shade here and there. We might as well extend that guilty pleasure to ourselves. Charleston Women in Wellness Dr. Jared and Ashton Gu i chard, .
