The time to start protecting the skin from the hazards of UV is during childhood. Many individuals receive half of their lifetime sun damage before age 18.6 Sports and other outdoor recreational activities increase UV exposure. In addition, the widely held belief that tanned skin is beautiful motivates young people to use natural and artificial light to tan. Many young people also feel a sense of invincibility that makes it difficult to convince them to protect themselves from ultraviolet radiation (UVR). While not everyone exposed to significant amounts of UV light will develop skin cancer, the lifetime risk of basal cell carcinoma in Caucasian individuals is around 30%.7 Most importantly, one severe sunburn in a lifetime has been shown to increase an individual’s risk of developing potentially life-threatening malignant melanoma.8,9 Protection from the hazards of UV light remains the most important modifiable risk factor for skin cancer. This article will reinforce approaches to avoid the hazards of INTRODUCTION Exposure to UV light remains the major modifiable risk factor for skin cancer. Studies have shown that adolescents do not adequately use sun protection and frequently engage in tanning behaviors. This article will reinforce approaches to avoid the hazards of UV light and provide tips and tricks that health care providers should emphasize to their adolescent patients. ABSTRACT SKIN May 2020 Volume 4 Issue 3 Copyright 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine 190 tanning and provide tips and tricks that health care providers should provide to their adolescent patients. Avoid Artificial UV Exposure Unfortunately, “even one indoor tanning session can increase users' risk of developing melanoma by 20 percent, squamous cell carcinoma by 67 percent and basal cell carcinoma by 29 percent” according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Thus, our patients should be encouraged to avoid all artificial UV tanning devices. Advocacy efforts should promote state laws that prohibit tanning of youth under age 18. A number of states already have such laws (Figure 1). Protection from Outdoor UV light Adolescents should avoid the peak mid-day sun and seek shade structures when available. In addition, they should shield their skin from UVR using the following evidence-based techniques. Hats The most convenient way to protect the face and neck from UVR is to wear a wide- brimmed hat. Unfortunately, the most commonly worn hat is a baseball cap. These flat or peak capped hats provide minimal UVR protection for the ears, cheek, chin, and back of neck as seen in Table 1. While large brimmed hats (>7.5cm) are recommended for all individuals, these hats still provide less than a sun protection factor (SPF) 10 to the nose, cheek, chin, and back of neck; therefore, sunscreen should be worn with the hat.10 Visors used over hard hats by workers are also adaptable to various helmets used in sports (See Figure 2). Protective Clothing The use of protective clothing is as important as using a hat in shielding areas of the body from direct UV exposure.11 Bikinis and men’s brief style swimsuits expose more skin to the sun than one-piece women’s suits and men’s jammer styles that cover the thighs. Wearing light-colored, long-sleeved shirts is also recommended because individuals who wear protective clothing have been shown to suffer fewer sunburns when compared to individuals who apply sunscreen alone.12 Adolescents should be encouraged to wear UVR blocking clothing; denim, cotton, nylon, and polyester are some of the most effective UVA and UVB protective fabrics currently available on the market.11 Protective clothing should be worn even in the water at the pool or beach, but it should be noted that cotton fabric transmits UV light to underlying skin much more effectively when wet.13 Physicians should also recommend clothing labeled with ultraviolet protection factors (UPFs) as an easy way to ensure that the chosen clothing will be effective UVR blockers. Clothing with a UPF of 30, for example, protects the skin from all but 1/30th of UV radiation. Sunscreens Sunscreen should also be used in conjunction with protective clothing in order UV blocking clothing is an important component to avoiding the hazards of UV light exposure PROBLEMS + PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS A baseball (peaked) cap does not provide significant UV protection to the ears, cheeks, chin, and back of the neck.

Type of UV protective head gear classified by brim. SKIN May 2020 Volume 4 Issue 3 Copyright 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine 192 to more completely protect the skin from the hazards of UVR. As an example of the efficacy of this multifaceted recommendation, the famous Australian Slip! Slap! Slop! (Slip on a shirt, slap on a hat, and slop on sunscreen) campaign resulted in significant positive changes in attitudes toward sun tanning in Australia resulting in decreased rates of melanoma.14 A broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater should be recommended for its ability to protect the skin from sunburn, premature photoaging, and precancerous sun damage.15 An SPF of 30 implies that individuals can stay in the sun for 30 times longer with the product than without the product to receive the same amount of UVR. Some products are more substantive, that is, they resist washing off when sweating or in the water. These formulations are termed “water-resistant” since the FDA will no longer allow labeling as “water proof”.16 It is important to note that at least one ounce of sunscreen is needed to effectively cover the entire body of an average sized adult and that sunscreen should be reapplied about every two hours or more often if sweating or in water.17 Patients should also be advised to take the time necessary to distribute sunscreen evenly across the entirety of the exposed skin, as hasty sunscreen application results in uneven protection.18 In order to address this issue, some resorts have installed sunscreen booths that spray sunscreen evenly over the entire body with minimal effort.19 In general, because chemical agents have reduced photostability,20 chemical sunscreens may necessitate more frequent reapplication. Conversely, physical agents are desirable because they provide broad- spectrum UV protection and are completely photostable.20 However, physical agents often leave a visible white residue on the skin. They also remain on the skin longer than many chemical agents and thus may be more difficult to remove. A wide range of sunscreens products with chemical and physical sunscreen agents are available in the U.S. market. These sunscreen agents offer certain advantages and disadvantages (See Table 2). Considering the range of cream, lotion, gel, spray, stick, oil, and powdered products that are available, we recommend that patients choose the sunscreen they like best so long as it has an SPF of 30 or greater.

For now, it is abundantly clear that sunscreens as part of a multi-modal effort can reduce actinic keratoses, skin cancers, wrinkles, and solar lentigines. Responding to Challenging Patient Questions Some patients resist wearing sunscreen for very specific reasons. Health care providers should be prepared to respond to the following issues often raised by patients: 1) “It leaves a white residue” White residue results from the physical sunscreen agents titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Even micronized formulations can be difficult to rub into the skin and often leave a white powdery residue. Despite this drawback, they provide a broad-spectrum, high SPF and are often quite substantive. In other words, they do not wash off easily when swimming or sweating. Although not as substantive, chemical sunscreens are alternatives that do not usually leave white residue. 2) “It contains dangerous nanoparticles.” Micronized physical sunscreens do contain nanoparticles. There is ongoing research regarding potential side effects of these products, but studies to date demonstrate minimal systemic absorption.23,24 The FDA would not allow these products to remain on the market if there was evidence of significant toxicity. Additionally, chemical sunscreen agents do not contain nanoparticles and can be used as alternatives to nanoparticle physical sunscreens if desired. 3) “It stings my eyes.” Chemical sunscreens are more likely to cause stinging of the eyes when sweating causes them to flow into the eyes from the forehead.25 Physical sunscreens generally do not cause this side effect and may be appropriate for athletes who complain of this problem. 4) “It causes cancer.” There is evidence that urocanic acid, a sunscreen agent previously used in Europe, may be carcinogenic.26 However, this agent was never used in sunscreen formulations in the U.S.A. In fact, none of the currently FDA approved sunscreen agents are carcinogenic. There is also no evidence that sunscreen agents are harming humans in the concentrations to which we are exposed.27 A second mechanism has also been postulated whereby sunscreen could “cause cancer:” Wearing UVB blocking sunscreen alone without UVA protection could result in individuals remaining in the sun for longer periods of time, thus accumulating more significant UVA damage. UVA penetrates the skin more deeply and may be particularly associated with solar elastosis and malignant melanoma. However, physicians recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays in Patients should choose the sunscreen they like among available products with SPF 30 or greater Physicians should be prepared to answer the specific reasons patients present to explain their lack of adherence to recommended sunscreen use SKIN May 2020 Volume 4 Issue 3 Copyright 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine 194 Table 2. “Sunscreen agents: range covered, advantages, and disadvantages” Chemical Sunscreen Agent Range Covered21 UVA1: 340-400 nm UVA2: 320-340 nm UVB: 290-320 nm Advantages Disadvantages Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) UVB Long lasting (penetrates horny layer).22 Can stain clothing Can cause allergic or photoallergic dermatitis.22 Avobenzone UVA1 Can cause allergic and photoallergic reactions.22 Cinoxate UVB Rarely causes photoallergic contact dermatitis.22 Dioxybenzone UVB, UVA2 May cause allergic contact dermatitis.22 Ecamsule (Mexoryl SX) UVA2 Can cause allergic and photoallergic reactions.22 Ensulizole (Phenylbenzimiazole Sulfonic Acid) UVB Can cause allergic and photoallergic reactions.22 Homosalate UVB Can cause photoallergic reactions.22 Meradimate (Menthyl Anthranilate) UVA2 May cause irritant, allergic, and photoallergic reactions.22 Octocrylene UVB Can cause allergic and photoallergic reactions.22 Octinoxate (Octyl Methoxycinnamate) UVB Poor water solubility (water- resistant).22 Commonly causes allergic and photoallergic reactions.22 Possible cross-reactivity with flavorings and fragrances.22 Octisalate (Octyl Salicylate) UVB Can cause all 4 types of contact dermatitis.22 Oxybenzone UVB, UVA2 Commonly causes irritant, allergic, and photoallergic dermatitis.22 May induce photo contact urticaria, contact urticaria, and anaphylaxis.22 Nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs may cross-react.22 SKIN May 2020 Volume 4 Issue 3 Copyright 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine 195 Padimate O UVB Can cause photoallergic contact dermatitis.22 Sulisobenzone UVB, UVA2 Can cause all 4 types of contact dermatitis.22 May cause urticarial reactions.22 Trolamine Salicylate UVB May cause allergic reactions.22 Physical Sunscreen Agent Titanium Dioxide UVB, UVA2 Difficult to rub in.

Thus, this fear is tenuous at best. 5) “It hurts the environment” Recent evidence suggests that the chemical sunscreen ingredient oxybenzone/benzophenone-3 and related sunscreens may have a toxicological impact on the environment. The facts are: 1) minute amounts of oxybenzone from sunscreen use and manufacture is detectable in oceans, swimming pools, and lakes; 2) oxybenzone can destroy coral by bleaching; and 3) 4-methylbenzylidene camphor, oxybenzone, octocrylene and octinoxate have been identified in fish.27 With regard to coral, studies have shown damage to coral in the immediate vicinity of beaches where sunscreens are worn by thousands of swimmers.27 However, only about 10% of global reefs and up to 40% of coastal reefs are at risk for coral bleaching.28 With this in mind, and recognizing that no perfect sunscreen exists, banning the use of these products is premature. If a more significant threat to the coral reef ecosystem is proven, this could be reconsidered. 6) “I am allergic to sunscreen.” Chemical sunscreens are generally less well tolerated when compared to physical agents. Many chemical agents produce allergic or photoallergic reactions including: Aminobenzoic acid (PABA), avobenzone, dioxybenzone, ecamsule (Mexoryl SX), ensulizole (phenylbenzimiazole sulfonic acid), homosalate, meradimate (menthyl anthranilate), octocrylene, octinoxate (octyl methoxycinnamate), octisalate (octyl salicylate), oxybenzone, padimate o, sulisobenzone, and trolamine salicylate.22 For patients experiencing allergic reactions SKIN May 2020 Volume 4 Issue 3 Copyright 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine 196 to a sunscreen, they can try sunscreens containing different chemicals or use physical agents. Of course, it is possible for individuals to be allergic to preservatives or fragrances used in any sunscreen product. Patch testing can define the specific ingredients causing allergic contact dermatitis and a simple switch to a physical sunscreen should eliminate this problem.22 7) “I will get vitamin D deficiency and develop weak bones.” For individuals worried about their vitamin D levels, it is recommended that they ingest 2000 international units (IU) of vitamin D daily from food, dietary supplements, or both. Damaging the skin with UV is not required to maintain adequate vitamin D levels. Sunless Methods of Tanning While some experts suggest that sunless tanning products should be avoided because they glorify tanning, we favor this safe alternative to achieving the “tan look” versus UV damage to the skin. Of course, adolescents should be warned that sunless tanning products provide negligible sun protection and can even increase one’s susceptibility to UV-induced free radicals.29 Thus, it is imperative that sunscreen and other sun protective behaviors be employed when using sunless tanning products. There are two categories of topical sunless tanning products. First, the sugars dihydroxyacetone and erythrulose produce a “Maillard reaction” in the outer layers of the stratum corneum and epidermis, which results in a tan appearance.30 These products are topically applied daily until the desired color is achieved and then are reapplied as needed (usually weekly). The second category, bronzing products, consists of water-soluble pigments that produce a temporary tanned appearance until they are washed off. These pigments are commonly used in makeup and tinted lotions. Table 3 describes the various sunless tanning agents available in the U.S. market. Motivation Despite proper warning and instruction, many adolescents will choose not to engage in sun protective behaviors in favor of “beautiful,” tanned skin. One approach is to warn adolescents that UV causes DNA Table 3. Sunless tanning agents: advantages and disadvantages Tanning Agent Advantages Disadvantages DHA (dihydroxyacetone) Produces a tan color that lasts about a week.31 Can induce UV-generated free radicals in the skin.29 Can produce a streaky or blotchy color. Erythrulose When used with DHA, the color produced reportedly lasts longer and has a more natural tone.32 Color produced may be tinted yellow or red.29 Produces a more temporary color than DHA.32 Can produce a streaky or blotchy color. Water Soluble Pigments Allow for more even application. Last about 24 hours or until washed off.30 Sunless tanning products represent a safe way to “look tan.” SKIN May 2020 Volume 4 Issue 3 Copyright 2020 The National Society for Cutaneous Medicine 197 damage and thus predisposes one to a higher risk of skin cancer.33 However, studies suggest that adolescents do not believe or do not care that they will develop skin cancer. Instead of this approach, we favor warning adolescents about the deleterious effects of UVR on the appearance of one’s skin.34 Adolescents must be warned that while not everyone with sun-damaged skin will get skin cancer, 100% will have sallowness, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and brown spots. One study demonstrated a significant increase in sunscreen use among a group of adolescents who were shown a video explaining the appearance-based consequences of UVR. The group shown a similar video describing the health-based consequences of UVR did not see an increase in sunscreen use.35 In another controlled study, college-aged females tanned less often after receiving a workbook describing the damaging effects of indoor tanning on the skin’s appearance.36 Similarly, adolescents had intentions to use both sunscreen and other forms of sun when shown pictures of unsightly skin discoloration on areas of the face and neck that resulted from a lack of sun protection.37 Finally, the SunfaceTM mobile application edits facial images to highlight the potential effects of photoaging. A 2017 pilot study demonstrated that 63% of participants agreed that the edited picture “motivated them to avoid using a tanning bed” and 62% agreed “to increase use of sun protection”.38 Thus, appearance-based fear tactics are effective in improving adherence of sun protective behaviors in young people.34,35 Even when adolescents adopt sun protective behaviors, it has been shown that they do not maintain their efforts over time. Text-message reminders to wear sunscreen, long sleeves, and hats may serve to encourage adolescents to protect themselves from the sun. For example, one 6-week study of 70 participants showed that those in the experimental group who received daily text-message reminders to wear sunscreen had significantly higher rates of adherence compared to those in the control group.39 In summary, it is abundantly clear that sunscreens should play a part in a multi- modal effort to reduce actinic keratoses, skin cancers, wrinkles and solar lentigines. Adolescents and their parents are critical targets for education efforts to reduce skin damage from UVR. Physicians play an integral role in this process by promoting healthy habits and stressing that there is no safe amount of UV tanning.
