Sun damage is color blind, so we all need to take steps to protect your body. The reasons why are numerous from skin cancer to premature aging! The best bet is to reapply an SPF 30 at least every two hours.
A good rule of thumb to ensure you are getting maximum protection is to smooth on 1 ounce…and if you’re like me, you are wondering exactly how much that is. Well, imagine the amount that would fill a shot glass, say, of my summertime freezer-cold coconut rum!
I like the new spray on products which are great for hard to reach areas, but can also present burning when the can gets low. My favorite for outdoor sports is Neutrogena’s Ultimate Sport that has an SPF of 85. It doesn’t drip or sweat off.
Lather up, but don’t forget to also get a yearly skin check.
Be strong, be healthy. Protect your skin. And SMILE!
