Using Sunscreen

When it comes to using sunscreen, beware! Increased risk of skin cancer can be the result of a bad sunburn. Your skin can be damaged by too much sun. Try limiting the time you spend in the sun and use sunscreen. Helpful tips to help protect yourself from sun rays include:

1. Anytime you go outside for 20 minutes or more, use sunscreen.

2. Start 15 to 30 minutes before you go outside to apply sunscreen.

3. The sun protection factor should be at least 30, and should be a broad spectrum for blocking ultraviolet rays.

4. Sunscreen should be applied every two hours, even on cloudy days and after swimming. Be sure to apply it to every exposed area of the body.

That's Life!
