Sun Lotion Techniques

By Haywood Hunter


The purpose of sun lotion is to protect your skin from the sun's ultra violet rays, and so lessen the risk of sunburn and, more seriously, skin cancer. However, if the cream you are using is not applied correctly, you may find it's effects to be negligible. Some points should be borne in mind when applying the cream to your skin.

The one thing you should not do is be thrifty with sunscreen. The more of it you use on your skin, the better protected from the sun you are. So do not concern yourself with the idea that you are being wasteful or using too much.

Be very careful to ensure that you apply the sunscreen to every inch of your body. Covering the back and the chest is a fairly straightforward process. But due care should also be paid to your ears, for instance, or between your toes.

For every day that you are staying in a very sunny climate, you should be using sunscreen. This is to ensure that your skin retains moisture and offsets early wrinkles developing. Most importantly, the threat of skin cancer also developing will abate as a result.

Fourth, apply a second coat of cream to your skin later on in the day. Whether you are sweating or swimming, or anything else, the protection you initially applied will not be sufficient to last the whole day and will eventually break down. A second application will be necessary to top up your protection.

In using sun lotion with the above points in mind, you will fend off the risk of skin cancer much more effectively. Always make sure that you read the instructions on the bottle before applying the cream to your skin. But if you do follow the points outlined, you cannot really go wrong.
