· Apply generous amounts of a sunscreen, which
must contain UVA & UVB protection, to dry skin 30 minutes before you go
outdoors.
· Use sunscreen on all skin surfaces that will
be exposed to sun — especially your face, ears, hands, arms and lips. If you
don't have much hair on your head, apply sunscreen to the top of your
head or wear
a hat.
· Coat your skin well and leave a residue on
the skin.
· Reapply sunscreen every two hours, more often
if perspiring.
· Reapply sunscreen immediately after swimming,
as it may be rubbed off with a towel.
· Remember that sand, water and snow reflect
sunlight and make it even more important to use sunscreen.
· Since UVA rays penetrate glass and clouds,
use sunscreen even when it's cloudy or you're indoors but in rooms with lots of
windows.
· Do not use total block out as this will
prevent Vitamin D synthesis, which is critical to health and helps prevent life
threatening cancers.
