It's May, so we're about halfway through the Spring season. Throughout Philadelphia, temperatures are warming, days are growing longer and we're getting more days of full sun.

It's a perfect time to remind yourself and your loved ones of the importance of properly protecting your skin when you're out enjoying the sunshine. The experienced facial plastic surgeons at Morgenstern Center do perform surgical repair of skin affected by skin cancer, and you can see the results possible at the gallery of skin cancer surgery before-and-after.

Failing to protect your face from sun exposure can lead to:

Increased risk of skin cancer from UV exposure
Premature aging on your face, including wrinkles, fine lines, sagging and loss of volume
Increased risk of cataracts and skin cancer around the eyes

Here are our top tips for protecting your skin from excessive UV exposure:

Wear a sunscreen that provides broad spectrum protection (protects against both UVA and UVB rays)
Wear UV-blocking sunglasses, which is essential to protecting your eyes and the surrounding area
Wear a wide-brimmed hat, which provides additional protection for your face and neck
Seek shade when possible and desirable
Wear clothing that protects you from the sun, such as long sleeves, or tops that at least cover your shoulders and other high-exposure areas
