hate sunburn? use sunscreen this is the best way to prevent sunburn also skin cancer but some people make mistakes when it comes to sunscreen protection so here is some right tips to use sunscreen.
1. applying sunscreen before going outdoors.
Sunscreen need to be applied 15-30 mins prior to going outdoors to allow the sunscreen to be absorbed into the skin. follow manufacturer instruction for exactly how long before going into the sun.
2. Using sunscreen only when it is sunny.( obvious ba kaya nga tinawag na sunscreen eh)
Sunscreen needs to be used in the sun and in the shade. Harmful UV rays can still affect people when its cloudy.
3. Not applying enougn sunscreen.
the estimate is about 1 oz. for an adult. keep in mind that all parts of the body that will exposed to the sun needs to be protected. eglected areas include face,ears,neck and feet. ( paano kaya kung hindi pantay-pantay dalmatian ang labas siguro spot-spot)
4. Not reapplying after swimming.
Sunscreen not labeled "waterproof" or "water resistant" does come off while in water. even waterproof and water resistant sunscreen provides limited time amount of protection. check label for how often to reapply waterproof and water resistant sunscreen.
5. not applying sunscreen at all.
many people have the misconception that one application of sunscreen will provide all day long protection. Not true. Sunscreen needs to be reapplied generally every two hours. check label for product specific instruction again.
