How to Properly Apply Sunscreen

Did you know that there is a proper way to apply sunscreen?! It’s so important to follow these steps to insure maximum protection against the sun and harmful rays which can cause skin cancer and sun damage to the skin.

How to apply sunscreen:

  • Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30
  • Apply from head to toe. And we mean it! Commonly overlooked areas are ears, neck, hands and feet.  Make sure to not miss those spots.
  • Apply 15 minutes before going outside,
  • Reapply every 2 hours (again, from head to toe) or more often if your skin is sweaty or wet. Reapply immediately after swimming.

Learn about our sunscreens and find the one that best matches your skin’s needs.
