Sunscreen Secrets

Sunday Mar 8, 2009

I have mentioned several times already that it is a must to wear a sunscreen. For Australia and countries alike you should aim for at least SPF 30+.

So what are these numbers actually mean? In theory if you are burned after 10 minutes of sun exposure without any sunscreen then SPF 30 should give you 30 times longer protection, i.e 300 minutes. But in reality due to the facts such as rubbing, sweating, contact with water (if we go to the beach) we don’t have such a long protection. It usually last for about 60-80 minutes. So make sure you reapply sunscreen often enough if you are out on the sun. Especially if you are at the beach. Each time you go for a swim it is best to reapply your sunscreen.

I know many people don’t like sunscreen for its sticky feeling and a smell. I finally found two good sunscreens. The best sunscreen is made by Jurlique - Sun Lotion SPF 30+. Ok, it is a bit pricey, so I am using it only on my face and (the great thing about this sunscreen) - I use it under my eyes too. It is so good for sensitive skin that you can use this sunscreen even on such delicate areas as your eyes.

And for the body I use Nivea Light Feel Everyday Sun Lotion SPF 30+. It instantly absorbed (as it say on the package) and doesn’t have that smell that normally sunscreens have. And this Nivea Sunscreen doesn’t give any sticky feeling. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it for the first time. You should try it too.

If you have your own favourite sunscreen I would love to know about it. Please comment bellow.
