Tis’ the Season! Summer is here and so are the strong UVA Rays. A note to all of our drivers… we know that you spend a lot of time in your truck.  So we are suggesting that you read the following and protect yourself: “UVA rays transmit through clouds and window glass to penetrate the skin’s layers, and have been tied to aging and wrinkles. According to the journal, chronic UVA exposure can result in thickening of the skin’s top layers, the epidermis and stratum corneum, as well as destruction of the skin’s elastic fibers. A truck driver takes the brunt of the damage on the left side of their faces because of their many hours behind the wheel.” Doctors recommend Truck drivers use sun protection, ie:  vitamin A creams called topical retinoids and frequent screenings for skin cancer. ”To protect yourself against UV radiation, the CDC says to seek shade, especially during midday hours, wear protective clothing, wear a hat with a wide brim to shade the face and head and use sun screen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays” We care… Your team at Capital Driver Leasing   *American Journal of Medicine * CDC]]>
