Sunscreen - keep your skin smiling!

 

 When it comes to selecting sunscreen, there are a lot of choices: creams, lotions, sticks, and aerosols or sprays, with different ingredients used.

 Sunscreen plays a key role in protecting our skin from the sun. 

Wearing sunscreen is one of the best — and easiest — ways to protect your skin’s appearance and health at any age. Used regularly, sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging.

How much amount to apply?

Generally, sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

If you work indoors and sit away from windows, you may not need a second application. Be mindful of how often you step outside, though. Keep a spare bottle of sunscreen at your desk just to be safe. Even a short stroll at lunch could put your skin at risk.

Keep in mind that no sunscreen is perfect. Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses or other protective clothing, and seek shade whenever possible.
