📌📌surprisingly easily, particularly when you're going swimming.

👉 Sunscreen is an incredibly useful tool for protecting yourself from sunburn and reduces skin cancer risk, but sunscreen isn't a suit of armour that you put on and forget about.

Before using sunscreen, you should remember following things:

1. Pick the right product

📌Broad-spectrum

this means that the sunscreen filters and provides protection against both UVA and UVB radiation.
SPF 30 or SPF 50 - SFP 30 filters 96.7% of ultra-violet radiation (UVR) and SPF50 filters 98%.

📌Go hard when applying

You don't want to be applying little dots of sunscreen to your skin - you want to cover every bit of your skin that's going to see sunlight and you want to be thorough about it.

📌📌Take 20 before you hit the water

🕢🕢You get the greatest mileage out of your sunscreen when it's applied on clean, dry skin about 20 minutes before you head outside.

🙂There are two different types of sunscreens, and they protect you from UV rays. The first type creates a physical barrier which blocks and reflects UV light the same way a white wall reflects lights - and it includes things like zinc cream where the sunscreen is noticeable.

📌📌The second type of sunscreen provides a chemical barrier that absorbs and filters ultraviolet radiation, and it tends to be a lot less visible to the naked eye.

For this second type of sunscreen to do its job effectively, it needs time for those compounds to get absorbed into the pores and creases of your skin.

🕢🕢Which is where our 20-minute wait comes in - it gives your skin the time it needs to absorb the sunscreen and really get proper protection. If you hit the water before those 20 minutes are up, some of the sunscreen is going to wash away before the absorption has taken place…and you're going to be less protected.

📌📌Re-apply every hour

Sunscreen is water-resistant, not waterproof, which means it doesn't last forever once you start swimming. It should be reapplied every two hours, if you're staying on dry land, because it'll take roughly that long before a combination of sweat and absorption through your skin means the first layer you put on is gone.
