Look Young With Sunscreen

Sunscreen when apllied in the correct way can save you from looking older.The correct applications protects you from harmful rays of sun and also makes you look younger.

Here are some tips to use the sunscreen to maximize its benefits:

1. Use a sunscreen that has a SPF or Sun Protection Factor of at least 15 and regardless of what SPF you use it's always a good idea to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours if you're going to be continually exposed to the sun for long periods of time .
2. It's recommend to use an SPF of at least 30 if you're planning on staying outside in the sun much longer than 2 hours .
   
3. Always apply sunscreen on your body about 30 minutes before going outside and for even extra protection against the sun & to make you look even younger…
4. Use a sunscreen that has antioxidants like Vitamin C & E and pomegranate extract in it to help neutralize the damage caused by UV light.
5. No matter how high the SPF of a sunscreen is or even if it's a waterproof sunscreen… you should still reapply sunscreen every 2 hours since rubbing, touching, swimming and sweating will all eventually wear away sunscreen …
6. Make sure you use sunscreen all over your body meaning you put sunscreen on your ears, head, hands, and feet.
7. You should also use a lip balm with sun protection for your lips.
8. If you're wearing Cotton clothes you'll still need to use sunscreen because cotton clothes have a SPF of less than 15.
9. Make sure you check the expiration date of the sunscreen you are using and make sure that you don't store your sunscreen in heat because this will weaken the SPF of the sunscreen.
   
10. Make sure you use a higher SPF sunscreen than you usually use if you're going to be using bug replant since it reduces the power of your current sunscreen .
11. Make extra sure you use sunscreen if you're white or fair skinned, have blond or red hair, blue or green eyes because you are at a higher risk of early aging due to sun damage .
