🌞 Sun Protection Tips You Shouldn’t Skip
1. Wear Sunscreen Daily – Even Indoors
UV rays can still affect your skin through windows and screens. Apply SPF every morning!
2. Use Broad Spectrum SPF 30 or Higher
Protects against both UVA (aging rays) and UVB (burning rays).
3. Reapply Every 2 Hours
Especially if you’re sweating, swimming, or outdoors for extended periods.
4. Don’t Forget These Spots
Ears, lips, neck, hands, scalp (or wear a hat!).
5. Use Sun-Protective Clothing
Long sleeves, UPF fabrics, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses are game-changers.
6. Avoid Peak Sun Hours (10 AM – 4 PM)
Stay in the shade when the sun is strongest.
7. Check Expiry Dates on Sunscreen
Old SPF may not protect you as effectively.
8. Choose Mineral Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin
Look for zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for a gentle, effective barrier.
9. Apply Enough
Most people under-apply. Use a shot-glass amount (1 ounce) for full body coverage.
10. Don’t Rely on Makeup SPF Alone
Always apply a base layer of sunscreen under your makeup.
