5 Tips To Make Sure Your Sunscreen Works

1. Use sunscreen every day, rain or shine.

2. Don’t skimp. The average-size body requires at least a shot glass worth to achieve maximum coverage.

3. Don’t dig to the bottom of your beach bag for last year’s sunscreen. Sun protection expires after 12 months.

4. While at the beach or other sun-drenched locations, re-applying your sunscreen at least every two hours is crucial to staying protected. Immediately re-apply after swimming or sweating.

5. Double up on safety by using a 20 percent concentration of topical Vitamin C under your sunscreen to boost the immune defense of your skin cells against UV damage. It will also reduce the appearance of brown spots.
