No matter your skin tone, sunscreen keeps your skin safe from harmful UVA and UVB rays. But to use it right, you need to know a few things: What SPF to use, how often to reapply and the difference between chemical and physical sunscreen. This episode explains what to look for on the back of a sunscreen bottle and how to use it effectively.
Good information ℹ to know when spending so much time at the beach. UV-A protects from skin aging and UV-B from painful burns and skin cancer. Sprays don’t work. Mineral and physical sunscreens don’t have the toxic chemicals but they are nasty to apply especially if you don’t rub them in your hands first to get it on evenly.
I didn’t know even the basics!
