Smart Sunscreen Use

·         1.  Get a head start on the sun
Apply sunscreen before you are exposed to the sun.

·         2.  Don't skimp on application
How much sunscreen is enough? Use it liberally and apply it evenly over all your exposed skin to ensure complete coverage. Reapply as needed.

·         3.  Cover all the bases
It's easy to overlook spots like your ears, neck, shoulders and the back of your neck, but they need sunscreen too.
So does your scalp if you have thin or thinning hair.

·         4.  Follow the numbers
SPF tells you the level of protection a sunscreen provides from sunburn. The higher the SPF, the greater the protection. We recommend using a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher whenever you'll be outdoors.

·         5.  Don't skimp on application
How much sunscreen is enough? Use it liberally and apply it evenly over all your exposed skin to ensure complete coverage. Reapply as needed.

·         6.  Reapply, reapply, reapply
Slap on another coat of sunscreen as needed — and be sure to reapply after swimming, perspiring, vigorous activity or toweling off.

      7.  Select sunscreens that can keep up with kids
Because children can spend hours playing in the sun and surf, they have specific suncare needs. Use waterproof sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher, and look for products that are quick and easy to apply to squirmy kids. (Keep babies under six months of age out of the sun and consult a doctor before applying sunscreen.)
