Photoprotection is indicated for the reduction of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced skin damage and skin cancers. Photoprotection includes sunscreens, clothing, hats, makeup, sunglasses, and windshields. The damaging effects of UV radiation include photoaging and photocarcinogenesis. Photoaging can manifest as sagging and wrinkling, while photocarcinogenesis is due to the damage of cells and DNA. This activity outlines the indications, mechanism of action, methods of administration, important adverse effects, contraindications, and monitoring, of various photoprotective agents, so providers can direct patient therapy in treating indicated disorders as part of the interprofessional team.
