You probably already know this, but using sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. But do you know how to apply it correctly for maximum effectiveness? Here are some expert tips to help you use your sunscreen properly, whether it's for yourself or your family.
Why is it important to use sun protection?
The sun's UV rays can cause irreversible damage to the skin, such as sunburn, premature aging, and even an increased risk of skin cancer. By using proper sun protection, you can reduce these risks and protect the health of your skin.
How to choose the right sun protection?
It’s recommended to choose a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30. Also, make sure it offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. For added protection, opt for a water-resistant formula if you plan on swimming or sweating.
How to apply sunscreen correctly?
Before going out in the sun, apply sunscreen generously to all exposed areas of skin, including your face, neck, arms and legs. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you're sweating or swimming. Don't forget sensitive areas like your ears and the tops of your feet.
What about children and babies?
Children and babies have more delicate and sensitive skin, so it is crucial to protect them from the sun. Use sunscreen specially formulated for children, with a high SPF. Also dress them in UV-protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat for extra protection.
