Sunscreen Application

Apply sunscreen at least once a day, and use an adequate amount of the product.

Clean the skin before application.

Apply to cool, dry skin twenty to thirty minutes before exposure. Cool, dry skin allows sunscreen to bind effectively. When sunscreen is applied to warm skin, the open pores can become irritated, and rashes can develop.

Two applications help cover any missed spots.

Apply moisturizer and makeup over sunscreen.

Reapply during the day, depending on your rate of perspiration and the amount of sun exposure you get.

Tip

Use the equivalent of a shot glass of sunscreen — that’s two tablespoons — to cover skin from head to toe.
