With these rainy days I’m sure sunscreen is the last
thing on your mind but we are officially one week into summer!
I
thought some tips on sunblock use would be great for us:
- When: Sunscreen should be used year around -Not just in the summer.
- What SPF:
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends SPF 30 or higher.
- What Type:
Choose a broad spectrum that will protect from both UVA and UVB rays.
- When to Reapply:
This varies based on what you’re doing. If you’re inside most of the day
and not sweating or swimming you can apply one time in the morning. If you
are active outdoors go with a water resistant formula and reapply every 40
to 80 minutes.
- How Long Does A Bottle of Sunscreen last: Some bottles have an expiration date you can check but
if not the FDA requires sunblock to maintain its original strength in the
bottle for 3 years.
Have
a great summer!! 😊
Thank you,
