Friday: How-To Be Sunscreeen Savvy!

It’s Friday F@shionist@’s and that might mean a weekend of having fun in the sun. Be smart when going outside and lather on the sunscreen. In-style has 10 tips to protect you from harmful UV rays.
1)Choose a formula –make sure the sunscreen includes UVA and UVB
2)Get a number –know how much sum protection each gives; at least SPF 15–SPF 30
3)Give yourself time –apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going outside
4)Reapply –reapply after 20 minutes of going outside; then every 2 hours after that
5)Get full coverage –make sure you apply enough from head to toe; sprays are easier
6)Be safe –apply water-resistant formulas and make sure you reapply it!
7)Are you sensitive –don’t mix too many products; glycolic acids make skim photosensitive
8)Remember eyes and lips –lip balm with SPF 15 is a must!
9)Protect your face –apply formulas in the AM with sunscreen and hydrating ingredients
10)Tan safely –try sunscreen with self-tanner in it


Sun safety is a must, F@ashionist@’s!
