Sunscreen tips for Summer How do you Apply Sunscreen in the Summer?

Choose a sunscreen that has a SPF of 30 or higher, is water resistant and provides broad spectrum coverage, which means it protects you from UVA and UVB rays SPF 30 gives you 97% protection and SPF 50+ gives you 58% and price doesn't necessarily confirm what product gives the best results There are many supermarket brands that range from $6 that are just as good as the higher end of the market.

I always recommend using 50+ tace' sunscreens under makeup as they are lightweight and sheer which is best for when you are applying your foundation Different active ingredients determine whether the sunscreen has physical or chemical/mineral blockers

They both do the same job, the main difference is that the physical blockers are often the thicker and whiter sunscreens that have Titanium Oxide and Zinc Oxide as the active ingredients.

Apply your Sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside so it has time to absorb into your skin, and re-apply every 2 hours

If you like using the spray sunscreens its best to avoid application when there is a strong breeze or wind so it doesn't get blown away from your body. Many dermatologists recommend at least one teaspoon of sunscreen perlimb as a guide to how much you need to apply.

For optimal sun protection it is also important to be aware of the expiration date which is often stamped on the sunscreen container to specify the time limit for stability and efficacy of the product. If the date is only on the packaging use a permanent marker to write the date on your container.

Most importantly do not rely on sunscreen alone. It is also very important to use sun protective clothing, a broad brimmed hat and sunglasses. Where possible, find yourself a shady spot to relax or stay indoors especially during the peak heat of the day.
