Dr Aishwarya Dua, Dermatologist at #DermaworldDelhi talks in detail about the frequently asked question - How To Apply Sunscreen, The Right Way.
Applying sunscreen correctly is crucial to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Here are the steps to apply sunscreen effectively:
Choose the Right Sunscreen:
Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 30 or higher. Broad-spectrum sunscreens protect against both UVA and UVB rays.
Apply Sunscreen 15-30 Minutes Before Sun Exposure:
It takes some time for the sunscreen to be absorbed by the skin and provide full protection. Apply sunscreen at least 15-30 minutes before going outside.
Use Enough Sunscreen:
Most people under-apply sunscreen. You should use about one ounce (a shot glass full) to cover your entire body. If you're using a spray sunscreen, make sure to spray until your skin is visibly covered.
Cover All Exposed Skin:
Don't forget to apply sunscreen to all exposed areas, including your face, neck, ears, arms, legs, and any other areas that will be exposed to the sun.
Focus on Sensitive Areas:
Pay extra attention to sensitive areas like the nose, tops of your feet, and the back of your neck.
Reapply Sunscreen:
Reapply sunscreen every two hours or more frequently if you're swimming, sweating heavily, or toweling off. Even if a sunscreen claims to be "water-resistant," it's still a good practice to reapply after swimming or sweating.
Use Lip Balm with SPF:
Protect your lips by using a lip balm or lipstick that contains SPF.
Don't Forget Your Scalp:
If you have thinning hair or a bald head, apply sunscreen or wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your scalp from the sun.
Use Sunscreen Even on Cloudy Days:
UV rays can penetrate clouds, so wear sunscreen even on cloudy or overcast days.
Be Mindful of Clothing:
Consider wearing protective clothing like long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats to provide additional sun protection.
Avoid Tanning Oils:
Tanning oils and lotions without SPF do not provide sufficient protection. Stick to sunscreen with proper UV protection.
Check the Expiration Date:
Sunscreen does expire, so check the date on the bottle and discard any expired products.
Be Consistent:
Make sunscreen application a daily habit, even when you're not planning extended sun exposure. UV rays can damage your skin even during short periods outside.
