Sunscreens make a difference to protect yourself and your family from sunburn, skin cancer and premature skin aging.
Basic Tips for Salamo from the Sun
Do not expose yourself to the sun between 10 am and 2 pm
Wear clothing that covers skin exposed to the sun, such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, sunglasses, and wide-sided bottoms.
For maximum sunscreen protection use a broad spectrum sunscreen with 15 or higher SPF values
If you have fair skin, you may need a higher SPF of 30 to 50
There is a misconception that people who suffer from sunburn if they are exposed to sunlight for one hour, they can stay for 15 hours if they apply sunscreen labeled 15, and this is false.
Reapply sunscreen at least every two hours and possibly more frequently, especially for swimming.
Apply sunscreen after 15 minutes of exposure to the sun
Use enough to cover the entire face and body except for the eyes and mouth (one person needs approximately 1 ounce) Approximately one full cup of tea to cover the body from head to toe
Do not expose the sunscreen package to the sun (it can be wrapped in a towel or kept in the shade) and if it is kept for a long time, it must be kept in the coolers
It is not recommended to apply sunscreen to infants under the age of 6 months, and it is not recommended to expose them to the sun at the peak time of the sun’s rays between 10 am and 2 pm, and if it must be exposed to the sun, it is preferable to use sunscreen.
Babies and children are more affected by sunlight, such as rashes
For infants over 6 months of age, sunscreen can be applied according to the label directions on the sunscreen box
Rely on broad-spectrum sunscreens that provide protection from UVA and UVB rays
Be aware that some sunscreen ingredients are absorbed through the skin and have systemic effects that may not be desirable, so you should read the active ingredients of sunscreen
Usually the shelf life of the sunscreen is 3 years
Spots that are often forgotten: ears - nose - lips - back of the neck - and areas of the head with light hair
Usually light skin absorbs more solar energy than people with dark skin under the same conditions
