Correct Sun Lotion Administration Techniques

By Haywood Hunter


The rays of the sun can cause great damage to your skin with sunburn and also put you at risk of skin cancer. Sun lotion can prevent the ill-effects of ultra violet radiation as long as you apply it properly. Keep in mind the following ways of administering this liquid for maximum effectiveness.

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.

Be very careful to ensure that you apply the sunscreen to every inch of your body. Covering the back and the chest is a fairly straightforward process. But due care should also be paid to your ears, for instance, or between your toes.

Also, do not fall into the error of assuming you can skip a day or two where applying the sunscreen is unnecessary. Without proper care, your skin will lose all moisture and become dry and wrinkled. The sunscreen should be used every single day to avoid this outcome.

Fourth, apply a second coat of cream to your skin later on in the day. Whether you are sweating or swimming, or anything else, the protection you initially applied will not be sufficient to last the whole day and will eventually break down. A second application will be necessary to top up your protection.

Before administering sun lotion of any description, always make yourself aware of the instructions for applying sunscreen that come with the container. The sunscreen will keep the threat of skin cancer at bay with effective use. And if you combine the instructions with the ways listed above, your risk of exposure to such cancer will decrease dramatically.It is very important to use sun lotion every time one is going out into the sun. Even small exposure to the sun can produce damage.
