How to Use or Apply Sunscreen Correctly

We want to be outside during the summer months: mountains, beaches, meetings on terraces, cafes, and restaurants, and we want to expose our skin to the sun. It is critical to protect our skin whenever we are in the sun to avoid sunburn and spots.

These are the keys to avoiding staining and protecting your skin, as well as the skin of your loved ones, so that you can sunbathe safely.

What Protection Factor to Use?

First and foremost, select the FP protection factor correctly. Light skin, of course, requires more protection factor FP than dark skin.

Protection factors of 2 to 10 are considered low. Medium protection is defined as FP between 15 and 20. And FPs of 30 to 50 are considered high safeguards.

Dark skins require roughly 40 minutes to tan in the sun without protection, normal skins take 10 minutes, and white skins tan in 3 to 5 minutes.

You will utilize one or more protections depending on the activity. If you are going to participate in sports, you should be aware that special creams exist that will act despite sweat and water. They’re more durable and aren’t greasy at all. It is watertight.

If the sunscreen is for youngsters, it should always have a high level of protection (FP50) and should be reapplied every two hours. Remember to keep your newborn or child warm by wearing a hat. Even if you’re under an umbrella or in the shade, you should apply sunscreen.

Because the skin has a memory, what appears to be a minor sunburn can quickly escalate into a serious problem.

Sunbathe Safely

• Sunbathe from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. during the shortest hours of the day.
• Because you will tan rather than burn, use FP Solar Protection.
• Exposure time should be kept to a minimum.
• After being exposed to the sun, it is critical to care for your skin with After Sun products. It’s really cool.
• When going to the beach or the pool, avoid wearing perfume. If you wore perfume the night before, take a shower to remove it, or your skin will be stained. Remember to apply sunscreen on your neck, as this is where we generally apply perfume.

Tips to Protect Ourselves from The Sun:

• Remember that the ideal tan is one that looks wonderful while also keeping us healthy.
• The repercussions of unprotected sun exposure include skin stains and scars, as well as many types of cancer.
• For damaged eyes and lips, keep in mind the FP 50 sun protection stick.
• Protect yourself before the sun activates your cold sore if you are prone to them. Apply FP 50 suntan lotion all over your face or face + neck, then retouch with the FP 50 stick every 2 hours during the day.
• Solar hair protection: these are dry oils that nourish and protect the color of dyed hair without altering it. They also feed the hair, resulting in healthy and attractive hair.
• There is a line of high-tolerance sunscreens for ultra-sensitive skin that reinforces the skin’s defense mechanisms.
• There is a line of ultra-fluid creams with a matte and silky finish for those who want bare skin effect creams. They don’t leave any fat traces or whiten the hair.

With all of this knowledge, you have no excuse for not properly protecting yourself from the sun. As you can see, there is something for everyone’s tastes and demands. To stay young for longer, all you have to do is make wise choices. Remember: your skin is a delicate treasure that you must learn to care for from an early age!
