There is no doubt that the UV rays from the sun have a carcinogenic effect on the skin. With issues like skin cancer and accelerated aging of the skin being associated with UV radiation, it is important for every person to take steps to protect against these risks.

When it comes to protecting against sun damage, it is something that you should do every day and any time that you may be exposed to UV radiation. While the risks may be greater when the sun is out and shining at its brightest, the skin can still be damaged on days that are overcast.

While people with fair skin may have the greatest risk for sun damage, the use of sunscreen is recommended for people of all skin types. You should apply sunscreen every day when you are going out into the sun and you need to make sure that you apply the sunscreen in the correct fashion.

Most people apply sunscreen immediately before they go out into the sun. However, most sunscreens provide the best protection when they are absorbed into the skin. For this reason, you want to apply the sunscreen at least fifteen minutes before going outside. Additionally, many people make the mistake of only applying the product once. If you are going to be outside for an extended period, you should reapply the sunscreen every two hours to maintain the protection.

Additionally, you want to make sure to use enough sunscreen and that you are applying it to all of your exposed skin. If the layer of sunscreen is too thin, then it will not provide the skin with enough protection. A general rule is that you should use about two teaspoons of sunscreen if you only need to cover your head, neck, and arms. If you need to cover your entire body, then the general rule is to use about two tablespoons.
