Sunscreen Mistakes 

We’ve all been making mistakes with sunscreen without even realizing. But don’t worry, these mistakes are common and now’s the time to learn from them. Let’s drive into basic mistakes to avoid.

1. Improper Application ❌ 

Without proper knowledge, people often apply SPF like a moisturizer. However, applying it too thinly won’t provide adequate protection against harmful rays.

2. Not using Moisturizer Before ❌

Applying Sunscreen directly to dry skin can be challenging. Always use a moisturizer before applying Sunscreen to ensure a smooth and even application.

3. Not re-applying  ❌

Reapplying Sunscreen every 3 hours, especially when spending time outdoors is crucial. Its effectiveness lasts only 3 hours on the skin. When you are inside the home, you don’t need to re – apply it. Regular applying of sun cream not only protects the skin but also reduces risk of skin cancer.

4. Rushing out immediately after applying ❌

Many people apply sunscreen and head out the door within seconds. However, it’s essential to understand that Sunscreen needs time to settle on your skin. If you venture out too quickly, sun cream may be washed away by sweat which results in reducing its effectiveness on skin.
