It is sunscreen season in many places. People often spend more time outside during the warmer months. It is important to protect skin from the sun all year, not just in summer. Dermatologists say that sun exposure can hurt skin over time. This may lead to problems like wrinkles and dark spots.
Many people do not apply enough sunscreen. To get the protection shown on the bottle, you need to use about a quarter of a teaspoon for your face and one ounce for your body. It is also important to reapply sunscreen often. After two hours, or after swimming, you should put on more.
Another mistake is using expired sunscreen. An old bottle might not work as well. Check the expiration date before you use it.
Choosing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher is a good rule. Apply enough, and remember to reapply. Make it a part of your daily routine.
