Pick the Right SPF & Spectrum
Use SPF 30 or higher and ensure it says "Broad Spectrum" to protect against both UVA and UVB rays, crucial for comprehensive skin safety.
Apply 15-30 Mins Before Sun
Apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. This gives the ingredients time to fully bind to your skin for effective protection.
Don`t Skimp: Use Enough
Be generous! Most adults need about 1 ounce (a shot glass full) for full body coverage. Underapplying significantly reduces the SPF protection.
Cover All Exposed Skin
Apply evenly to all skin not covered by clothing. Remember spots like ears, neck, back of hands, tops of feet, and your scalp if hair is thin.
Reapply Every 2 Hours
Sunscreen wears off. Reapply it at least every two hours, and more frequently after swimming, sweating heavily, or drying off with a towel.

Use Even on Cloudy Days
Up to 80 percent of UV rays can pass through clouds. Make sunscreen a daily habit, even when it`s overcast, to prevent cumulative sun damage.
Let Sunscreen Absorb First
Allow sunscreen to dry for a few minutes before dressing or applying makeup. This helps prevent it from rubbing off and ensures it works properly.
