Sunscreen Application: Here’s How to Perfect It
Sunscreen can shield your skin from skin cancer and premature aging. But it still becomes not the best option when it’s applied inappropriately. Follow these tips from dermatologists when applying sunscreen.
When to Apply Sunscreen?
It is preferable to apply sunscreen before going outside. It typically takes 15 minutes for your skin to essentially finish absorbing the sunscreen and safeguard itself. If you choose the right time to apply sunscreen, sun rays are less penetrating and the probability of your skin burning becomes less.Use enough sunscreen. Many adults might need about 1 ounce (or about the compensated content that fills a shot glass) to cover their entire body. Make sure to rub the sunscreen into the skin thoroughly.
To be on the safe side during three seasoning, you certainly need to re-apply your sunscreen after swimming, or after you sweat to keep you from being sunburnt. Wherever you go outside, your skin receives UV radiation even when it’s cloudy or cold. After all those sweaty months of the summer, you get a great excuse to ditch the sunscreen. But instead of relying on your skin’s natural ability to repair itself, use sunscreen when going on vacation or taking a brisk walk in your neighborhood.
Mind the Details
Put sunscreen on all the uncovered skin parts.Keep in mind to touch your neck, face, ears, and tops of your feet. For areas that are difficult to reach like your back, ask a friend to help you or use a spray sunscreen. If hair thinning is your case, use sunscreen for protecting the scalp. Or wear a wide brimmed hat. This way you can avoid damage that harmful UV light may pose to your hair. Wanted to protect your lips? You should apply sunscreen lip balm that has SPF at least 30. Do not forget widely neglected areas such as the top of your feet, the back of your neck, and scalp (unless covered with hair). The sun’s damaging rays reach these unnoticed areas just as much, so they also have to be guarded against damaging rays. Dr Santhanam advises to “Try matte sunscreens that give comprehensive protection from solar radiation beyond UVA/UVB to include IR and visible light and lightweight solution but not watery or greasy ones.” This is more effective than having to use high SPF solutions that could be uncomfortable to wear and which could be unattractive.
