"Protect Your Skin", By Rowena

3 SPF Rules Every Women Should Know

#1 Switch to SPF versions of skin-care products you already use. Body lotions, makeup, and moisturizer. Start off everyday with a facial moisturizer that has UVA and UVB protection and an SPF of 15 or more.

#2 Hike up coverage for the out doors. Days spent out side require more protection than your makeup or moisturizer can provide. Use a sunscreen with at least an SPF 30 and UVA and UVB protection, and apply on all exposed areas.

#3 Reapply, reapply, reapply!!! When outdoors for hours at a time, make sure to reapply your sunscreen every two hours. Prolonged exposure to the sun requires reapplying sunscreen every two hours, this reduces the damage caused by the sun. No matter what's in your sunscreen, (octocrylene, octinoxate, titanium dioxide, benzophenone, zinc oxide, or Parsol 1789) You must reapply!!!
