According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), 1 in 5 people will experience skin cancer in their lifetime. It is important to protect your skin on a daily basis, considering skin that will be exposed to the sunlight.

The AAD recommends using an SPF that is water resistant to very water resistant, an SPF of 30 or higher that is broad spectrum. They also suggest that one ounce, (equivalent to filling a shot glass) is the approximate amount of sunscreen needed for application. If you are enjoying an outdoor activity, consider reapplying your sunscreen every two hours for adequate protection.

Also, make sure you store your sunscreen in a cool place. If it is left in direct sunlight or inside a hot car, the ingredients can be compromised. A sure sign that your sunscreen has hit high temperatures is when the consistency is runny or like a liquid instead of a lotion.

We hope you enjoy the final days of summer and you are able to beat the summer heat with sun care products by TopCare!
