Where to Apply Sunscreen Daily?

You should apply sunscreen daily to your face, neck, arms, and legs. These areas are most often exposed to the sun and require consistent protection.

Why These Areas?

These specific areas are the ones most commonly exposed to sunlight during daily activities. Consistent and proper application of sunscreen to these areas helps prevent sun damage, premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer.

How Much Sunscreen Should You Use?

• Face and Neck: Use about a half teaspoon of sunscreen to adequately cover your face and neck. This ensures that every exposed area is protected.
• Arms and Legs: For your arms and legs, approximately 1 ounce of sunscreen is needed, which is roughly the amount to fill the palm of your hand.

Practical Tips for Sunscreen Application:

• Apply Liberally: Ensure you are using the right amount of sunscreen to achieve full coverage.
• Don't Miss Spots: Carefully apply sunscreen to all areas, including the tops of your ears, the back of your neck, and the tops of your feet if they are exposed.
• Reapply Frequently: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if you are swimming or sweating.
• Use a Broad-Spectrum SPF: Choose a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
