We like the sun, but like to sunbathe well protected. 5 rules for applying sunscreen.
1. Use a high factor
Choose a factor that suits your skin. Everyone should use at least factor 15, but for many people, factor 30 would be even better. And yes, you will also get tan with a high factor.
2. Thick layer
Sunscreen should be applied thickly on the skin. It is difficult to give an exact guideline, but a handful of sunscreen for your entire body is not an exaggeration (according to Huidinfo.nl).
3. Day cream with a factor is not enough
Do you use a day cream with factor in the morning? Very sensible, but it does not protect your skin all day and in many creams the factor is not very high. Therefore, invest in a nice facial sunscreen that does not make your face shine, so that you can reapply during the day.
4. Lubricate!
The rule of re-applying also applies to your body. You should reapply every two hours. It is also best to apply a new layer after swimming.
5. Don't forget to rub spots
Don't forget to rub body parts. The ears, neck and feet are often forgotten. Shoulders also burn very quickly, make sure you don't forget to rub in pieces.
