Tips on Sunscreen Application from the AUSTRALIAN CANCER SOCIETY
· Use the recommended amount with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, if you're not using about six teaspoons (every time you put sunscreen on your whole body), you're probably not getting enough protection from UV.
· Apply it to clean, dry skin 15 to 30 minutes before you go out in the sun.
· Cover all parts of the body not protected by clothing (don't forget ears, neck, hands, knees and the tops of your feet).
· Apply it evenly.
· Don't rub it in vigorously — most sunscreens will absorb into the skin and need only to be spread around.
· Reapply it at least once every two hours, and after swimming, exercise, sweating or towel drying. And use sunscreen even on cloudy days.
· Store it at less than 25°C. Don't leave it in the glove box of your car or in the sun. Keep it in the esky with the drinks, in the shade or wrapped in a towel.
· If it passes its use-by date, throw it out.
As sunburn is a risk factor for all types of skin cancer, the recommendation to use sunscreens is based on the fact that preventing sunburn will reduce the risk of skin cancer. However, Sunscreens should not be the only approach to preventing skin damage. They should be used in conjunction with clothing, hats and where possible, avoiding the direct sun in the middle of the day.
There are two types of sunscreen.
Absorbers (e.g. cinnamates) soak up UV rays and prevent them reaching the skin.
Reflectors (e.g. zinc oxide) reflect or scatter UV rays away from the skin.
Sunscreens can be applied as a moisturiser under make-up.
