How To Protect Yourself From The Sun

So many ask, “How do I protect myself in the sunshine?” and these days, with more UV around us, it is so important to make sure we do protect ourselves properly. Firstly, pick the right level of protection. Don't be tempted to go for lower level because you want that glorious tan.

The best tan you're going to get is a long lasting one that you've built up gradually, carefully and safely. Once you've picked your protection, it's all about application. Read those instructions.

So many sun tan manufacturers will tell you that unless you apply their product as they instruct it's not going to give you the protection it advertises. Make sure you apply before you go out. It really helps your skin to grab that protection and hold onto it during the day.

Get a good coverage. You need about a teaspoonful for the face and the collar area and then another teaspoon for each arm and each leg and for your torso. So depending on how much of yourself you're about to expose, it's very important to get the right amount of sun protection on your skin.

If you do this at home, you can. It's completely up to you. Decide to do this with a little less clothing so that when you get dressed, you know that even if straps shift around a bit later, you're still going to be protected.

Ultra Sun makes a range of protection that's still working all day, even if you go in or out of the water. But whatever you choose, make sure you adhere to what they tell you. So with Ultra Sun, I don't need to ask you to reapply, but your chosen sun cream may be asking you to do that.

So, make sure you follow those instructions every time you get out of water, every time you've surpassed your time in the sun to ensure you are properly protected from the sun. .
