7 sunscreen tips:

1 use a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection, which protects your skin from both UVB and UVA rays.
2 always wear a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher, particularly for long-term sun exposure.
3 choose a sunscreen that’s been recognized by experts.
4 apply sunscreen liberally.
5 apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before sun exposure.
6 re-apply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming (even if the formula is waterproof).
7 apply sunscreen daily, even if you’re just inside because UV rays can penetrate glass.

Sun smart fact: "90% of skin aging is due to the sun."
So, why aren’t you wearing sunscreen?

Sunscreen picks:

Dormer 211 Face Cream is the product that my dermatologist recommended. It’s a protective all-over skin moisturizer with SPF 30. It can be used for all skin types. It’s also hypo-allergenic, so it won’t clog pores resulting in breakouts. Another plus, it’s fragrance-free so you don’t smell like sunscreen when you apply it.

Other good picks for safe skin in the sun are: La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL SPF 60 Face& Body Cream and Vichy Capital Soleil SPF 60 Sun Block Cream.
