Did you know that most people do not use the amount of sunscreen that they should?! This lowers the SPF value. For the average size adult, the minimum amount of sunscreen for the total body coverage is one ounce - a golf ball size amount. Sunscreen should be applied to DRY skin 15-30 BEFORE sun exposure.
Sunscreens should be applied every 2 - 4 hours and after swimming, excessive sweating or toweling off. Water-resistant sunscreens protect your skin for 40 minutes of water exposure, while waterproof sunscreens protect for 80 minutes.
