n 2013, an investigative team led by Adele C. Green, MD, published a landmark
study showing that regular sunscreen use signifcantly slows down skin aging. Sci-
entists and dermatologists had long believed that, since the sun's ultraviolet (UV)
rays are a major cause of cellular damage that leads to premature skin aging, efective
broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen would logically retard this process. Now, Dr.
Green's controlled Australian study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, has
provided the frst direct clinical evidence that this is true.
