When Should You Use Sunscreen?

While most think of sunscreen as primarily a summertime necessity, it’s actually recommended by experts that you wear sunscreen every single day! It’s generally recommended that you apply sunscreen 30 minutes before venturing outside, which allows the product to bind to your skin. Be sure to reapply sunscreen every two hours, or immediately after taking part in water activities like swimming.

What Level of SPF Sunscreen is Needed?

SPF is an essential part of determining which sunscreen is right for you. “SPF” stands for Sun Protection Factor, and that value tells you how long it will take the sun’s rays to impact your skin if you apply the sunscreen exactly as directed, versus the amount of time you’d spend outside without sunscreen.

In other words, if you use an SPF 30 product correctly, it would take you 30 times longer to experience sunburn than if you went without any sunscreen on your body. That can make a huge difference!

If you spend most of the day inside, and only expose your skin to the sun briefly, you can use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. For those who spend most of the day outside, especially during the parts of the midday where the sun’s rays are the most intense, you need at least an SPF 30 or higher. If you plan on swimming or participating in activities where you might be sweating, look for water-resistant sunscreen options.

Also, look for sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection, meaning that the product protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

How to Apply Sunscreen

Aside from making sure you put sunscreen on early and often when heading outside, there are some other tips to consider when putting sunscreen on your skin.

  • If using standard, lotion-style sunscreen, shake well before use to mix particles that might be clumped up in the container. Apply thickly and thoroughly.
  • Be sure to apply enough sunscreen. A rule of thumb to remember when applying sunscreen is to use an ounce of the product to cover your entire collection of exposed body parts.
  • Speaking of exposed areas, use sunscreen on all parts of your skin exposed to the sun; don’t forget spots like the ears, your back, and the back of the knees and legs.
  • Be careful when applying sunscreen around the eyes. The ingredients of sunscreen can cause discomfort if they get into your eyes.
