Today is Sun Screen Day and even though it’s cloudy, health officials tell us the first thing you should always do before you head outside is, put on sunscreen.
My question has always been, what should I use? Do I want spray or rub on goop? How much do I need and how often do I need to be rubbing it on? Then of course there are different brands to choose from, and what about when the flies are crazy, can I put insect repellent over sun screen?? So many questions that are mostly answered with this one statement from skincancer.org about when to apply sun screen
Every day! The best practice is to apply 30 minutes before venturing outside to allow the sunscreen to bind to your skin. Reapply every two hours of exposure and immediately after swimming or excessive sweating.
