Top sunscreen tips and reminders for summer
Prevention and properly applying sunblock is first and foremost the most important thing to do before stepping out in the sun. Here are some additional expert insights to keep your skin safe all summer:
Reapply sunscreen every two hours.
Use sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher when going outside.
Check the expiration date of your sunscreen to make sure it still has its full efficacy.
Make sure sunscreen is labeled \"broad spectrum,\" which means it protects against UVA and UVB rays.
Apply sunscreen to all exposed skin areas -- or, for an average adult, use about enough to fill a shot glass.
