How to Incorporate SPF into Your Daily Body Care Routine
Want to keep your skin safe this summer? Incorporating SPF into your daily body care routine is essential for sun protection and maintaining healthy skin.
The ritual, step by step
- Choose the Right SPF Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. This ensures you're protected from both UVA and UVB rays, which is crucial for comprehensive skin defence.
- Apply Generously Use a generous amount of sunscreen; about a shot glass full for your body. Don’t skimp—most people don’t use enough, which can reduce effectiveness.
- Layer with Moisturiser If you're using a moisturiser, apply it first and let it absorb before applying sunscreen. This allows the sunscreen to form a protective layer without interference.
- Reapply Regularly Reapply every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating. Set reminders on your phone if needed to keep your skin protected throughout the day.
Where people go wrong
Many people forget to apply sunscreen on cloudy days or skip areas like the back of their knees and tops of their feet. Others use too little product, which compromises protection. Also, don’t forget to reapply after swimming or sweating.
