AB As  life  expectancy  has  increased  and  “baby  boomers”  have  begun  to  enter  middle  age,  interest  has  increased  in  slowing  the  aging  process.  Implied  in  this  escalating  interest  is  the  confidence  that  greater  scientific  knowledge  and  advancements  in  technology  may  allow  us  to  control  the  physical  manifestations  of  aging.  In  the  meantime,  more  and  more  people  are  becoming  aware  of  the  external  factors  implicated  in  premature  aging.  Although  dermatologists  have  discussed,  since  the  end  of  the  19th  century,1  the  notion  that  sunlight  contributes  to  premature  aging,  there  remains  a  great  need  for  education  to  convince  people  of  the  hazards  posed  by  sun  exposure.
