Hot summer season is going on and while going out, the only way to prevent from suntan is application of sunscreen lotion on your face, arms, body and parts that are directly exposed to sunlight. Sunscreen lotion protects your skin from the harmful effects of the ultra violet rays of the sun. To acquire maximum benefits of sunscreen lotion you must know the accurate method of its application. Below is explained some useful sunscreen application tips.
1. Apply sunscreen lotion one hour before you going outside. During this period the skin absorbed the lotion completely and formed a protective layer on the skin to prevent suntans.
2. Apply sufficient amount of sunscreen lotion or cream on your face and the body. To gain maximum benefits out of it you should apply thirty to forty ml of lotion on sun exposed parts of the body.
3. The people of all ages, genders and mores should use correct amount of sunscreen lotion. Even infants are also required sun protection. Some people think that those who have dark or tanned skin tone, they do not need sunscreens but such people also equally needed sunscreen lotion as people with fair skin do.
4. Only a single sunscreen lotion can not protect you from ultra violet rays, through the day, because in perspiration the sunscreen lotion is washed away from your skin. You need to use waterproof sunscreens while swimming. You should reapply the waterproof sunscreens when you wash your face.
5. You should apply sunscreen lotion on daily basis because they not only protect you from sunburns but they also help to delay the formation of wrinkles. Sunscreens prevent your skin from dryness, premature ageing and skin cancers’. You should not avoid the application of sunscreen on a cloudy day because eighty percent of ultra violet rays are present on such day.
6. Sunscreen lotion can protect you from suntans, though it can’t effectively protect you in strong middle afternoon sun. When the sun is strongest at that time of the day, you should need the shade of an umbrella to protect your skin.
7. Although, sunscreen lotion suitably protects the skin from suntan, but it cannot effectively protect the skin from the strong mid afternoon sun. During this time of the day, when the sun is strongest, you need the shade of an umbrella or a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses, to protect your skin. Sunscreens with SPF ranges fifteen to thirty are best and protect ninety percent of UV rays.
