Tips to keep your skin safe from harmful UV rays
- Reapply every two hours. The best practice is to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before venturing outside to allow it to bind to your skin.
- Sunscreen must also be reapplied immediately after swimming or sweating.
- Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine
- Apply sunscreen even when it’s cloudy, as up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV radiation reaches the earth. Going unprotected on an overcast day can lead to skin damage.
- Limit time in the sun, especially from 10 am-2 pm
- For a complete sun safety strategy, seek shade whenever possible and wear sun-safe clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
