5 SUNSCREEN TIPS TO REMEMBER:
1. Use only a BROADSPECTRUM SUNSCREEN - this type of sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB sunrays. UVA rays cause deep wrinkles and UVB rays cause sun burns.
TIP: Apply your sunscreen 20-30 minutes before sun exposure.
2. Make sure your sunscreen has these ingredients for protection: Zinc and Titanium Dioxide help to deflect the sun's strong harmful UV rays off your skin.
3. Make sure to use SPF 30 or higher. For longer sun exposure you may want to consider SPF 50+. NOTE: SPF 15 is not enough protection and SPF in your makeup is also NOT enough protection.
4. Facial moisturizers with sunscreen already added in work well as long as it's SPF 30 or higher. This also helps to eliminate a 2nd step in your routine of having to apply sunscreen on top and many facial moisturizers will not clog pores causing breakouts.
5. Reapply often! Sunscreen wears off with water, sweat, and oil. It is not meant to last you all day. You MUST reapply every couple hours if you're exposed to sun for long periods of time. It is best to reapply sunscreen every couple hours for the ultimate skin protection. If you work indoors but are exposed to natural lighting it is still best to wear sunscreen and reapply at least once during the day.
BONUS: Sunscreen comes in many different forms like LOTIONS, SPRAYS, MISTS, OILS, AND EVEN POWDER so you'll have to decide which works best for you based on your skin type and sensitivity to sunscreen ingredients!
