Californians are especially susceptible to skin cancer due to our year-round fun-in-the-sun activities ranging from swimming, bicycling, skating, volleyball and beaches to winter outdoor sports. Fortunately, skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer.

Known for her expertise in aesthetic medicine and skin care, Leslie Stewart says, “Your skin, being the largest organ of your body, works hard every day to protect you from harmful elements. Your skin is the first layer of defense against environmental stressors and bacteria.”

Keeping your skin healthy and intact is critical to slow down the aging process, according to the RN who has helped thousands of people deal with skin issues.

Leslie Stewart’s Skin Care Tips

• Skin care should be a part of your lifetime regimen.
• The most important part of your daily routine should be protecting your skin from environmental damage, such as sun and pollution.
• During summer months, it is crucial to take extra care and remember to reapply sunscreen every two or so hours and wear a hat if you can.
• A sunscreen with a high level of Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide without any other chemical additives is best.
