Skin Protection Under the Sun

You will be exposed to the sun for long hours when you surf, so your skin absorbs a lot of UV rays every time you hit the waves. You can prevent early aging and extreme damage to your skin by using the right type of sunscreen. This lotion has special chemicals that ward off ultra violet light using a protective “shield”.

You should only use sunscreen that has SPF or Sun Protection Factor and one that is broad-spectrum. This means that it will protect you from both the burning and aging effects of the sun. To avoid experiencing any skin problems, check the type of lotion that you are getting. There are now different forms of sunscreen such as gels, sprays, creams, and so on. There are also products for those who might have allergies or skin irritations.

Make sure to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going under the sun. All parts of your body that will be exposed should be covered and you should reapply the lotion every two hours. More sunscreen should be applied if it is windy, you are sweating, or you are going swimming.
