About Sunscreens

There are more sunscreen products on the market today than Bo Peep has sheep. In general you need to use a broad-spectrum screen that protects against UVA and UVB rays with a minimum Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15. The higher the number, the greater the protection. Sometimes more is better.

Pay special attention to the directions on the bottle. Most instruct that the sunscreen be applied at least fifteen to thirty minutes before going into the sun’s rays. In other words, even though you apply the sunscreen it won’t protect your skin until then. The sunscreen works by absorption into the dermis, protecting it like an invisible shield against the sun.

In addition, most sunscreens require reapplication throughout the day, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Don’t forget the tender or ‘usually forgotten’ areas such as the ears, neck and feet. A severe burn to the back of the neck or legs makes one cranky camper. Be sure to apply a sunblock to the lips with a SPF of 15 or greater. Diet Bites for Diet Motivation

Is sunscreen application necessary year-round?

Anytime of year when you plan to stay out in the sun exceeding twenty minutes sunscreen should be applied. Consider that even on a cloudy day, 80% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays can pass through the clouds. The sun has the most power generally from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon.

Always take care to apply sunscreen when swimming. The ultraviolet rays can sink three or more feet into the water and burn you as you swim. The coolness of the water creates deceptiveness and you won’t be able to detect the damage until you exit the water. There are several very good waterproof sunscreens on the market. Remember that when go swimming your sunscreen will generally need to be reapplied several times throughout the day, generally every hour and a half, depending on the product you used.

The sun exhibits super-reflective powers; 17% on sand, 80% on snow. So whether you’re a beach bunny or a snow bunny, reach for the screen.

The added bonus of sunscreen application includes protection against aging, skin cancer, wrinkles and freckles.
