While long summer days may be past, Dr. Elliot T. Weiss, our favorite Hamptons Dermatologist, stresses that sun protection is essential all year long. Lucky for us, some of his favorite sun protection products — made by MDSolarSciences — are carried year round throughout the Hamptons. “One may only think of sunscreen during the summer months, but we all need to think about protecting our skin throughout the year,” he shares.

“UVA rays from the sun are a major cause of skin aging and they are present everyday regardless of season. I recommend that all my patients wear a daily form of sun protection, whether they are at the beach, on the ski slopes or simply walking their dog,” says Dr. Elliot T. Weiss, Dermatologist Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York and Southampton.
