It’s no secret that the sun has UVA and UVB rays that are extremely damaging to your skin, which makes it hard to believe that so many people ignore the damage that the sun can cause to their bodies. Sun damage causes aging and, of course, various types of cancer. Taking appropriate summer skin care precautions is the only way to go.
Sunscreen only works if you use it properly. Follow these summer skin care guidelines to protect your flesh and your health:
Be sure to put sun block on 30 minutes before heading outdoors.
Apply sunscreen every two hours, regardless of the SPF level. Over time, sunscreen wears off by being touched, rubbed off with towels or by sweating.
Use protection on all parts of your body. Don’t forget your ears, head, hands, and feet. Use a lip balm with sun protection to guard your lips.
Remember that cotton clothes often protect less than an SPF 15 sunscreen. Even if you have a T-shirt on, you should use sunscreen.
Know that waterproof sun block may not be as waterproof as you think; after swimming or sweating, apply more.
Use the right amount of sun block. Every two hours, you should apply about an ounce. If you don’t use enough, you may as well not use any at all. Apply a little extra to vulnerable areas, such as the face.
Check the best-before date. Sunscreen expires and loses its effectiveness over time. Leaving your sunscreen in the heat will also jeopardize its strength.
Use a higher SPF if you are also using bug spray as some repellents can reduce the effectiveness of your sunscreen.
