With the warmer weather leading us into summer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers will be outside more.  That generally means more exposure to the sun and the need for sunblock.

Scott Warthon, at b5’s Health and Men, has some great information about Understanding Sun Protection Factor or SPF .  This helps us understand why and how the different levels of SPF work as they do.  He also has posted a chart giving us information regarding which SPF to use with which skin type.

(Scott learned the hard way…he got a sunburn!  See This is Why You Should Wear Sunblock)
