The long-awaited holiday is approaching, and therefore, the season for visiting the lake, the sea and sunbathing. Women and men often decide to do this last activity even on every free day in the summer, lying down in the garden and waiting for the sun’s rays to pleasantly cover their bodies. During this time, it is better to use sunscreen creams to prevent painful skin burns. These may only appear over time. But how much cream should you apply to your body for it to work?
How much sunscreen should I apply? This is enough to properly protect the skin
Nowadays, many people point out that sunscreen should be used not only in summer, but also in colder seasons. Thanks to this, we will protect the skin against harmful UV radiation.
In one of her videos, dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe showed a simple way to determine how much sunscreen we need. It’s about the two-finger method. Just apply the amount of cream on them as shown in the attached video and then cover your face. Apply an additional layer to your neck and ears. This is enough to apply neither too much nor too little.
How to sunbathe healthily? This will significantly reduce the possibility of skin damage
To care for your skin, it is worth knowing how to sunbathe to minimize damage to it. First of all, you should avoid the sun during peak hours, when it is strongest. The usual hours are between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. In addition, apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and gradually accustom your skin to the sun. Don’t forget to drink water and check your skin (check if there are any changes, and if so, consult a dermatologist).
ADVICE! If you have been in the sun for too long and have suffered a painful burn, do not hesitate and seek help from a doctor. You will recognize the problem by redness, burning and painful blisters. Based on his professional knowledge, the specialist will select appropriate measures that will bring you relief. Moreover, it is always worth consulting with him about the selection of a sunscreen cream that is suitable for the skin and will best protect it.
