1: SPF Definition
SPF (sun protection factor) is the degree to which a sunscreen protects the skin from the sun.
2: Update Your Sunscreen Every Year
Sun protection lotions need to be replaced each year as the SPF strength diminishes over time.
3: What You Wear Matters
A tightly woven fabric protects the skin the best. Light coloured fabrics reflect UV light, whilst dark colours absorb more.
4: Apply Every Two Hours
Most dermatologists recommend that SPF lotions need to be reapplied many times throughout the day.
5: Always Wear SPF
Even under shade, your skin can still be exposed to dangerous UV radiation. That is why you need to always apply sunscreen.
