Sneaky Ways to Squeeze in Extra SPF

Pop a Supplement
Pop a Supplement Sunscreen in a pill? Well, sort of. You can sneak in more sun-shielding antioxidants by taking a dietary supplement like Heliocare, $16.99. Dermatologist Vivian Bucay, M.D., calls it "a multifaceted approach to protecting yourself from the sun." Heliocare contains Polypodium leucotomos, a fern native to South America that has been used for centuries to treat skin conditions like sunburn, eczema and psoriasis. "Take it in the morning, and then if you're going to be outside, take it again a few hours later," says Bucay. Just remember that it's a good complement to wearing sunscreen, not a substitute for it.
