Acne increases in summer. TRUE or FALSE?
True
False
TRUE. Excess sebum and overly oily skin, besides the problem of pollutants sticking on to skin, does tend to increase the likelihood of acne. The solution? Cleanse more often with your pick of gentle face wash. And wear a moisturizer, which will act as a shield against the environment.

I need to choose my sunscreen basis its SPF rating. TRUE or FALSE?
True
False
FALSE. You need to also look at its UVA protection capability, commonly indicated as the PA rating (PA+, PA++, PA+++ etc). While SPF rating is about UVB-protection (related to tanning), PA rating is about UVA protection (UVA causes ageing, dark spots etc)

I wear glasses. So I can't wear sunglasses. TRUE or FALSE?
True
False
FALSE. There are several options, besides contact lenses + sunglasses, to help give additional protection to your eyes and under-eye area. Think of photo-chromic lenses (darken on sun exposure), powered sunglasses (a little expensive) or fit over sunglasses (inexpensive, and they fit over your existing prescription glasses). Exposure to high UV is one of the known causes for cataracts - so figure out a way!

Vinegar can help overcome sunburn. TRUE or FALSE?
True
False
FALSE. You need more than just antiseptic (which is what vinegar is), to help your skin recover from the sun. Use products with aloe, with its proven soothing properties, or chamomile (calming), calendula (healing), gotu kola (rebuilding) and other natural ingredients that can help your skin bounce back from the stress caused by sun exposure.

If you're not getting tanned (by staying largely in the shade), you're OK. TRUE or FALSE?
True
False
FALSE. What you need to protect yourself from is UV rays, and these are present even in the shades, behind glass windows, and even on cloudy days. Tanning is a visible effect of the sun - but dark spots, wrinkles and undereye darkening are longer term effects that you need to guard against

I'm wearing a full-sleeved top. So I only need sunscreen for face & neck. TRUE or FALSE?
True
False
FALSE. Clothing provides a single digit SPF. Which means your skin is going to start "feeling the heat" really soon. If you want more substantive, longer-lasting protection, make sure you're using a comfortable reasonably high SPF (upwards of SPF 25 is good), AND reapplying every few hours that you're out in the sun.
