Correct Sun Lotion Administration Methods

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.

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.

Also, do not fall into the error of assuming you can skip a day or two where applying the sunscreen is unnecessary. Without proper care, your skin will lose all moisture and become dry and wrinkled. The sunscreen should be used every single day to avoid this outcome.

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.

Before administering sun lotion of any description, always make yourself aware of the instructions for applying sunscreen that come with the container. The sunscreen will keep the threat of skin cancer at bay with effective use. And if you combine the instructions with the ways listed above, your risk of exposure to such cancer will decrease dramatically.
