What are good alternatives to sunscreen?

Protective clothing: The best way to avoid sun damage and its seqelae is to avoid the sun. If you must go out and don't want to use sunscreens then you may purchase a hat and many articles of clothing that are now available to block the sun's rays.

Antioxidants: You should always wear sunscreen but morning topical antioxidants that are actually absorbed into the skin offer longer lasting protection.
