Sun Lotion Methods

By Haywood Hunter


The purpose of sun lotion is to protect your skin from the sun's ultra violet rays, and so lessen the risk of sunburn and, more seriously, skin cancer. However, if the cream you are using is not applied correctly, you may find it's effects to be negligible. Some points should be borne in mind when applying the cream to your skin.

To begin with, do not be frugal with the amount of sunscreen you use on yourself. You should cover your body from head to toe in this stuff. Err on the side of using too much rather than using too little, it is much safer.

Second, be as thorough as you can be with the cream. Make sure that, in addition to covering the big areas on the body like the chest and back, that equal attention is paid to small, difficult to reach areas as well. These can include the ears and between the toes, to give a couple of examples.

Third, apply your cream everyday you are in a climate that warrants it. This will ensure that the skin does not dry out and become wrinkled prematurely. It will also greatly minimize the risk of skin cancer.

For the same reason, it will be necessary to reapply the sunscreen to your body not long after you initially applied it. Due to sweat, or exposure to water, or any other reason, the initial coat of sunscreen will lost its effectiveness as the day goes on. This is why another coat of sunscreen is needed.

In using sun lotion with the above points in mind, you will fend off the risk of skin cancer much more effectively. Always make sure that you read the instructions on the bottle before applying the cream to your skin. But if you do follow the points outlined, you cannot really go wrong.
