Using Sunscreen

How Much Is Enough?

The best sunscreen to use is a high SPF broad spectrum sunscreen. This protects against both UVA and UVB ultraviolet light. Before applying, first carefully read the label and follow the directions to ensure you're applying enough.

Its been shown that people regularly don't apply enough sun lotion. Which means they are not getting the SPF protection they think they are getting. Typically to cover the body one-quarter of a four ounce bottle of sunscreen is needed.

To maintain the stated SPF protection it's important to reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours, after swimming, or after it has been rubbed or toweled off.
