Here are some
general suggestions regarding selecting sunscreen that will give you the greatest sun
protection.
SPF30
At least an SPF 30 or greater sunscreen is going to have prolonged
sun exposure. This is because studies show that most people apply half
as much sunscreen as they need.
Broad spectrum sunscreen
Use the one that blocks both UVA and UVB, a
broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Physical sunscreen
The sunscreen with physical (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, icthmol, etc.) block both
UVB and UVA. Micro sized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide preparations allow
these chemicals to be less noticeable on application.
Wear sunscreen
Apply at least one hour before exposure.
Waterproof
The sunscreen which is waterproof should be applied at least one hour
before water exposure.
Sunscreen
Reapply sunscreen at least every two hours.
SPF15
SPF (sun protection factor) gives one a rough estimate of how long one
can stay in the sun without burning. For example an SPF 15 sunscreen will
protect someone who burns in 10 minutes 15 times additional protection or 150
minutes.
SPF only applies to UVB protection.
Reapplying itdoes NOT extent the period of protection. Taking the above
example a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 will not give 300 minutes of protection if
reapplied, it will only assure you of getting 150 minutes of sun protection.
Water resistant
The sunscreen with water-resistant will remain unchanged after 40 minutes of water exposure.
Water proof
The sunscreen which is waterproof will remain unchanged after 80 minutes of water exposure.
Best sunscreen
One ounce of sunscreen is required to cover the body. Thus an 8 ounce
bottle of sunscreen will be used up in four days of total body application. (How
old is your bottle of sunscreen at home?)
DEET
The sunscreens which contain DEET may reduce the SPF in the sunscreen by 30%.
Sun glasses / Eye glasses
Wear UVA and UVB protective eye glasses, sunglasses or goggles to protect
the eyes from sun damage and cataract formation.
Solumbra
Solumbra makes sun protective clothing lightweight clothing (SPF 30+)
