Sunscreen Lotions
Sunscreen lotions should be use on the summer and every day no matter the weather.
90% of wrinkles are caused by the sun's UVA light. Sun damage is the number one cause of premature skin aging.
If you want to look always young and healthy, use a screen lotion daily of at least 15 SPF (Sun Protection Factor).
15 SPF sunscreen means that you should be able to stay in the sun 15 times longer without burning that you would with no sunscreen.
Higher SPF sunscreen lotions may be helpful to people who have fair skin, work outdoors, live at high altitudes or perspire heavily.
With sweat and water the sunscreen lotion will wash away.
Some sunscreens are water resistant or waterproof. Water resistant sunscreen can maintain their SPF after 40 minutes of water. The waterproof sunscreen can maintain their SPF after 80 minutes.
Saltwater reduces the SPF faster then freshwater.
It is recommended to re-apply sunscreen lotion immediately after swimming or sweating.
You should apply your sunscreen lotion 30 minutes before you are going to be exposed to the sun.
The best sunscreen lotions protect against both UVB (which can cause sunburn) and UVA (which damages the skin).
The best options are SPF moisturizers or tinted moisturizers.
Some sunscreen lotions are safe to apply on the lips and face.
When you apply the sunscreen lotion, it penetrates into the inner depths of the skin and protects the upper layers. Skin Cancer is actually formed in the upper layers of the skin.
