Using
sunscreen is not only simple like creaming it on skin areas that need to be protected.
Refer to 8 popular mistakes when using
sunscreen
1. Bypassing “corners”
You will easily forget ears, toes, and
hands while sunlight does not miss any areas. Lips and ears are even areas that
have the highest risk of cancer because of contacting with sunshine much.
Beside creaming sunscreen on your body 15 minutes before going out, you should
not ignore a sunscreen lipstick with SPF 15 and over. Furthermore, the eyes
also have cataract by UV, so a pair of sunglasses will protect perfectly your
eyes.
2. Applying but not enough
Most women buy sunscreen SPF 30 but using a
little, so they only receive a half of that SPF. You should estimate cream
content equal to index fingertip, which is enough for your face. For other
parts of the body, you can base on this formula to take sufficient content of
sunscreen.
3. Not using it at home
You usually have habit of removing dead
cells with retinoids and salicylic acid. That makes skin sensitive and easy to
get sunburn under sunshine. Let use regularly sunscreen having SPF 30 in day,
even when you are inside because sunlight can creep through glass window and
attack your skin any time.
4. Not applying in cool day
On
the beach, you have to contact with UV more than usual.
Research showed that 80% UV of sun can go
through clouds, so you should not be tricked when not seeing sunlight. On the
beach, you have to contact with UV more than usual because sand reflects about
25% sunlight on you.
5. Forgetting protecting hair
Sunlight makes hair dry and split end. If
you have got hair dye, it also changes the color of hair. There now are
sunscreen spray products helping to create a cover protecting hair. Moreover,
do not put on a broad-brimmed hat to protect hair when going under sunshine.
6. Taking sunscreen once a day
Sunscreen only has effect within 2 hours.
Then it will be lost by sweat, sea water, rubbing with cell phone, tissue and
towel. After 2 hours, you should continue taking a new layer of sunscreen.

7. Applying sunscreen when being outside
Sunscreen uses chemical inhibitors, so it
needs 15 – 20 minutes to be absorbed into skin before promoting its efficiency.
If you cream it outside, your skin has been affected in advance by UV.
8. Forgetting to use sunscreen after taking spray one
Some people often choose spray sunscreen
due to using easily. However, after that you need to apply it on body by hand.
That will help you not miss out any skin areas.
