Skin Health and Sunny Days

Glow Where Summer Takes You

SUMMER IS IN FULL SWING WITH beach vacations, outdoor barbeques, splashing in the pool, or enjoying a great game of tennis or golf. While having all that fun in the sun, don’t forget to protect your skin.

UVB rays are the shorter rays that cause burns, and the UVA rays are the longer rays which penetrate deeper into the skin causing DNA damage. Over time, this damage can take a toll on your skin and its underlying connective tissue. The result is skin that is less elastic, wrinkled, and thin. This damage is also the leading cause of skin cancers.

ZO Skin Health takes a comprehensive approach to sun protection and goes beyond traditional methods of just blocking against UVA and UVB rays. ZO Skin Health engineers formulated scientifically superior sunscreens with the broadest, most comprehensive range of sun protection available. These formulas not only protect against UVA and UVB rays, but they also protect your skin from HEV light we get from the sun and other sources like phones and computers, and IR-A rays, which are infrared, invisible to the eye and especially harmful in high dose exposures.

Zein Obagi, MD is a world renown dermatologist who, along with his chief scientists, has dedicated many years to formulating the very best protection for your skin. ZO Skin Health offers a wide range of options for every skin type and tone. Additional hydrators, antioxidants, and antiinflammatories complete each formula for optimal protection.
