Fun in the Sun - Its Officially SpringBy Chelle Davidson
CanDrug USA
It is officially spring and if you live in the northern part of the U.S. you probably can't wait to get out in the sun and start your summer gardening projects. If you live in the south, you've probably been gardening since January and those of us in the north are jealous.
Now that the weather has turned warmer, the sun is warmer, too and it's very important to protect your skin. Whether young or old, you are always at risk for getting sunburned which can lead to damaged and wrinkled skin or skin cancer.
It is important to be familiar with one's skin. Doctors recommend monthly self-exams of moles and freckles so that individuals can track any changes in their skin. It is important to see a dermatologist if any growth, mole or discoloration appears suddenly or begins to change, or if a sore does not heal. Once cancer develops early, detection and treatment are the best defense.
Certain medications such as antibiotics and retinoids, commonly taken to fight acne, increase the risk of sunburn. Extra sun safety precautions should be taken by individuals on such prescriptions. Alcohol-based sunscreens may also be preferred as they are less likely to cause breakouts.
What can we do to avoid overexposure to the sun, besides spending our summer days inside?
The following information was obtained from the American Academy of Dermatologists website.
Sunscreens should be used every day if you are going to be in the sun for more than 20 minutes. They can be applied under makeup. There are many cosmetic products available today that contain sunscreens for daily use because sun protection is the principal means of preventing premature aging and skin cancer. Sunscreens used on a regular basis actually allow some repair of damaged skin.
The sun's reflective powers are great - 17 percent on sand and 80 percent on snow. Don't reserve the use of these products only for sunny summer days. Even on a cloudy day, 80 percent of the sun's ultraviolet rays pass through the clouds.
Sunscreens should be applied to dry skin 15-30 minutes BEFORE going outdoors. When applying sunscreen, pay particular attention to the face, ears, hands and arms, and coat the skin liberally. One ounce, enough to fill a shot glass, is considered the amount needed to cover the exposed areas of the body properly. Be careful to cover exposed areas completely - a missed spot could mean a patchy, painful sunburn. Don't forget that lips get sunburned too, so apply a lip balm that contains sunscreen, preferably with an SPF of 15 or higher.
Sunscreens should be re-applied every 2 hours or after swimming or perspiring heavily. Even so-called water resistant sunscreens may lose their effectiveness after 80 minutes in the water. Sunscreens rub off as well as wash off, so if you've towel-dried reapply waterproof sunscreen for continued protection. Don't forget that sun exposure occurs all the time, even while you're taking a short walk on a cloudy day.
There are so many types of sunscreen that selecting the right one can be quite confusing.
Sunscreens are available in many forms including ointments, creams, gels, lotions and wax sticks. The type of sunscreen you choose is a matter of personal choice.
Ideally, sunscreens should be water resistant, so they cannot be easily removed by sweating or swimming, and should have an SPF of 15 or higher that provides broad-spectrum coverage against all ultraviolet light wavelengths.
Ingredients which provide broad-spectrum protection include benzophenones (oxybenzone), cinnamates (octylmethyl cinnamate and cinoxate), sulisobenzone, salicylates, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and avobenzone (Parsol 1789).
SPF protection does not actually increase proportionately with a designated SPF number. In higher SPFs, such as an SPF of 30, 97 percent of sunburning rays are absorbed, while an SPF of 15 indicates 93 percent absorption and an SPF of 2 equals 50 percent absorption.
Try to reduce sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. (e.g., schedule outdoor sporting events for early evening; if you're a jogger, plan to do so first thing in the morning)
Seek shade or create your own shade (e.g., choose outdoor cafés with umbrellas or covered porches)
Wear clothing to cover your arms and legs.
Wear a wide brimmed hat and wrap-around sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection.
Apply sunscreen with minimum SPF #15 or higher with UVA and UVB protection (higher for individuals spending extended periods of time out of doors).
Since sun exposure is responsible for vitamin D production in the skin, individuals who wear sunscreen and are concerned that they are not getting enough vitamin D should take a multivitamin or drink vitamin D fortified milk.
If you properly prepare for spending your summer days outdoors, you should be able to enjoy the weather the sun and your healthy skin for years to come.

Mays Wong - Co-owner and Customer Service Representative
Mays Wong, one of CanDrug's dedicated customer service reps, is a Canadian and co-owner of Candrug and moved to Bellingham, Washington 8 years ago. Not only does she work at CanDrug, she is a satisfied and longterm customer. For the past 8 years, she has been getting her medications in Canada.
She says the main differences between Canadian and U.S. drugs are:
- They have French and Canadian English on the packaging instead of American English.
- They're much cheaper
One of the main reasons Mays got into the Canadian drug business was that after telling her friends about getting medications from Canada, she was encouraged to share this money saving plan with others who can benefit from the substantial savings.
Before CanDrug, Mays worked in the hospitality industry for more than 15 years in 3 different continents. She was managing sales, catering and hotel operation with great emphasis on guest satisfaction and customer service. 4 years ago, she switched her career to the healthcare industry.
Mays says she really enjoys helping those who can benefit from this money saving plan -"it makes me feel that I am contributing to the community."
"The U.S. government should seriously look into the rising cost of healthcare
and medications. It is scandalous that a developed and powerful country
like the United States cannot provide health insurance and reasonable
medication support to its own people." Mays says she and the whole CanDrug
team are in this for the long haul.
