Correct Sun Lotion Administration Techniques

By Haywood Hunter


To offset skin cancer and sunburn in more tropical weather, sun lotion is an extremely effective prevention method. It can prove useless, though, if it is not administered the right way. Some tips on effective application should help you stay protected.

To begin with, do not be frugal with the amount of sunscreen you use on yourself. You should cover your body from head to toe in this stuff. Err on the side of using too much rather than using too little, it is much safer.

Second, be as thorough as you can be with the cream. Make sure that, in addition to covering the big areas on the body like the chest and back, that equal attention is paid to small, difficult to reach areas as well. These can include the ears and between the toes, to give a couple of examples.

Third, apply your cream everyday you are in a climate that warrants it. This will ensure that the skin does not dry out and become wrinkled prematurely. It will also greatly minimize the risk of skin cancer.

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. It is very important to use sun lotion every time one is going out into the sun. Even small exposure to the sun can produce damage.
