5 Sun Care Tips for Healthy Skin

Here are my 5 sun care tips on how to protect your skin from the harmful UV Rays:

1. Always use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. I live in Southern California where the weather is always sunny and we always need to remember to protect our skin. When you’re outdoors make sure to reapply sunscreen every two hours. Neutrogena’s Beach Defense Sunscreen is perfect when you’re at the beach or even working out, as it is water resistant and stays on longer than other forms of SPF.

2. Stay in the shade. If you’re planning a day at the beach remember to take a sun umbrella. Also try avoiding the sun between 10:00 am -4:00 pm when the sun’s UV Rays are the strongest and most harmful.

3. Measure up. Use a shot glass as a guide, it takes a full ounce of sunscreen to properly cover the exposed areas of your whole body.

4. Wear sunscreen when indoors. Just because you’re indoors doesn’t mean that the sun can find you. Windows and draps still spill in UV lights. Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Face and Body stick is perfect for a sheer light coverage while indoors. It’s clean, lightweight and you won’t feel like you have anything on!

5. Wear protective clothing. Cover your face with a wide-brimmed hat, for your arms a tightly wove long sleeved shirt will protect your skin, and legs light linen pants.
