Sun Lotion Tips

By Haywood Hunter


The purpose of sun lotion is to protect your skin from the sun's ultra violet rays, and so lessen the risk of sunburn and, more seriously, skin cancer. However, if the cream you are using is not applied correctly, you may find it's effects to be negligible. Some points should be borne in mind when applying the cream to your skin.

To begin with, do not be frugal with the amount of sunscreen you use on yourself. You should cover your body from head to toe in this stuff. Err on the side of using too much rather than using too little, it is much safer.

Second, be as thorough as you can be with the cream. Make sure that, in addition to covering the big areas on the body like the chest and back, that equal attention is paid to small, difficult to reach areas as well. These can include the ears and between the toes, to give a couple of examples.

Third, apply your cream everyday you are in a climate that warrants it. This will ensure that the skin does not dry out and become wrinkled prematurely. It will also greatly minimize the risk of skin cancer.

Fourth, apply a second coat of cream to your skin later on in the day. Whether you are sweating or swimming, or anything else, the protection you initially applied will not be sufficient to last the whole day and will eventually break down. A second application will be necessary to top up your protection.

Before administering sun lotion of any description, always make yourself aware of the instructions for applying sunscreen that come with the container. The sunscreen will keep the threat of skin cancer at bay with effective use. And if you combine the instructions with the ways listed above, your risk of exposure to such cancer will decrease dramatically.
