Anthelios SX
The only sunscreen you will ever need
For years,
Americans were buying sunscreen with mexoryl via the
Internet or while traveling overseas. Sunscreens with this
ingredient in them are sold on the Internet and shipped
from Asia, Latin America, Canada and Europe; where it's
been around since the early 80s. But the way Americans are
scared of
importing prescription drugs from Canada, they
were also afraid of buying these products that may
literally save their lives:
skin cancer is one of the
major cause of death.
 Good
news: Mexoryl is now available. Chicago dermatologist
Omeed Memar, M.D., Ph.D. says, "Ultraviolet A light ages
your skin. And the reason it does that, it's a longer
wavelength, so it can penetrate deeper into the skin, and
instead of attacking the upper layers of the skin where
skin cancer often forms, it attacks the layers that give
your skin its tone, its elasticity, as we call it...You
get the lines, the
wrinkles, all the
things associated
from aging...Mexoryl blocks harmful ultraviolet A rays and
really provides
anti-aging protection."
Mexoryl
offers better protection from the sun than other
sunscreens and sunblock. "It produces a product which
gives us almost perfect protection against sunshine," adds
Dr. Memar. Mexoryl
is sold as a daily moisturizing cream called
Anthelios SX, with a relatively low sun protection
factor of 15. But, with skin cancer approaching
what some dermatologists call epidemic
proportions, every little bit, they say, helps.
"It's a step forward," said Dr. Memar. "I don't
say it's a giant step, but it's a small step
forward in our armamentarium to protect us from
the rays of the sun. I think the most
effective
anti-aging product that you can use is the daily
use of sunscreen."
