If you do plan to spend some time in the sun to help with your skin condition, make sure you're only out there for five to ten minutes at a time – you don't want to get sunburned. They recommend wearing sunscreen on all areas of your body you don't want to be exposed directly to the sun. And speaking of sunscreen – you should be using one with an SPF over 30, which is broad spectrum and water resistant.

Dermatologists say the survey offered some interesting insights into how youth view sun protection. For example, a majority polled believe it's important to protect their skin from the sun and say they use sunscreen – but many still reported getting one or more sunburns. That's likely due to them not properly applying sunscreen in the first place or not regularly reapplying it while out in the sun.
