We all love a pretty summertime tan (I mean, it solves ALL problems!) & being outdoors. But a few steps of protection will not only still give you that golden glow, but let you enjoy more time outside.

Choosing a Sunscreen
- choose a broad spectrum coverage (protects from UVA & UVB rays)
- SPF 30 or higher
- water resistant
Applying Sunscreen
- apply 15 min before exposure (it takes that long to sink in & offer protection)
- 1 OUNCE is needed (think of a shot glass)
- remember all the nooks-- behind/on your ears, tops of feet, lips, part line on scalp, etc
Wearing Sunscreen
- reapply every 2 hours or after swimming & sweating
