How to Use Sunscreen- Doctors Advice

There are scores of different types of sunscreens available in the market these days ranging from affordable to unaffordable prices.  Depending on our requirement and affordable cost we can choose the sunscreen.  You can also prepare sunscreen lotion at home. 

I guess these reasons are more than enough to know how mandatory the use of sunscreen daily is. 
Choose the best sunscreen that suits your skin type which is cost effective.

These days waterproof option is very much appreciated as most of the people have to be close to water in the name of enjoyment or in the name of work.  So, while choosing sunscreens choose the one with waterproof option so that it can protect you when you are in water too.

How to Use Sunscreen

Sometimes even though you use sunscreen it may not yield appropriate results.  This is because of the lack of awareness of how to apply it.  Whatever we do, if we follow a procedure, it would yield best of the best results.  So, first know how to apply it and the basic information about sunscreen.

1.Make sure you go through the ingredient list before buying the sunscreen.  Your sunscreen should contain the basic ingredients in it. 

They are as follows:

• Titanium dioxide

• Octyl methoxycinnimate (OMC)

• Avobenzone

• Zinc oxide

2. Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion or gel that is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.  Those sunscreens will protect skin from UV rays acting as a shield to our body.  It protects our skin from rashes, clogged pores, acne and sunburns.

3. Choose a sunscreen which has sun protection level of 30 and which is waterproof.  As I have discussed the pros of waterproof sunscreen lotion earlier, make sure to buy a waterproof sunscreen with SPF level 30.

4. Note this point your honour. Just kidding.  Do remember the point I am going to say.  Always apply sunscreen half an hour before you run into the sun.  It would help the lotion penetrate into the skin so that it can give more protection from the sun.

It provides better protection than fully covered attire.  There is no guarantee that whatever attire you wear, it protects you from the sun rays penetrating into your body.  So, make sure to apply sunscreen in a double dose every time you go out.

So, let that be any season, remember to apply sunscreen on your body and face before getting into the sun.
