When to apply sunscreen or photoprotector
Did you know that when we talk about how to protect the skin to sunbatheIs it necessary to use a sunscreen or adequate sunscreen according to our skin type? This is something fundamental, given that if for example we have very clear skin, which burns easily and never tans, it is necessary to use a protection index higher than 50.
So, for example, if you have a very clear skin that never tans and burns easily your protection index should be higher than 50; If you have a skin that tans but burns easily, your protection index is between 25 to 40; And if you have skin that tans easily, your protection index is between 15 and 25.
But when we talk about its application on the skin, the most usual thing is that we tend not to do it correctly. That is to say, the common thing is to be wrong or to have doubts about the moment in which we should apply the sun cream.
When is the best time to apply sunscreen?
If you have always had doubts about what are the best times when applying sunscreen, then we expose them:
- Before leaving home: especially in summer and when you will spend a few hours away from home. It is recommended to wear it always half an hour before going outside.
- Before sunbathingObviously, not when you are already on the beach or in the pool, but before leaving home. In this sense it is recommended to put on sunscreen half an hour before sunbathing.
- Apply sunscreen every two hours: if you find yourself sunbathing, but you have not gotten into the water, it is advisable to renew your sunscreen every 2 hours.
- Renew the sunscreen every time you leave the water: although it is usual for most sunscreens to form a protective film so that the effect of sunscreen does not disappear when entering the water, it is advisable to always renew it.
