Whats the best way to apply a sunscreen?
Application thickness has a significant effect on the protection provided by a sunscreen. If adequate amounts of sunscreen are not used in the first instance, the SPF of the product is reduced, potentially leading to sunburn. To be effective, sunscreen must be applied generously and rubbed in lightly so you can still see a visible sheen on the skin. For maximum protection: • For an average size adult, the ideal amount of sunscreen that should be used is approximately one teaspoon per arm. Naturally, the torso and legs will require more sunscreen using this measure as a guide. • Application 10-15 minutes before sun exposure allows the sunscreen to film on the skin.
