Choosing the Right Sunscreen

1. Broad-Spectrum Protection: Opt for sunscreens that offer broad-spectrum protection, meaning they protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Dermivy Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is ideal for daily use.
2. SPF Level: Choose an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) appropriate for your skin type and daily sun exposure. SPF 30 is generally recommended for daily use, while SPF 50 offers higher protection for extended outdoor activities.
3. Water Resistance: If you’ll be swimming or sweating, select a water-resistant sunscreen to ensure prolonged effectiveness.

Applying Sunscreen Correctly

1. Amount: Use a sufficient amount of sunscreen to cover all exposed skin areas. For the face and neck, apply at least a nickel-sized amount (about 1/4 teaspoon).
2. Timing: Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure to allow it to fully absorb into the skin and form a protective barrier.
3. Reapplication: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming, sweating heavily, or toweling off. Even water-resistant sunscreens can lose effectiveness over time.

1. Daily Use: Incorporate sunscreen into your daily skincare routine, regardless of the weather or season. UV rays can penetrate clouds and windows, so protection is essential year-round.
2. Layering: Apply sunscreen as the last step in your skincare routine, after moisturizer but before makeup (if applicable). This ensures optimal protection without compromising the efficacy of other skincare products.
3. Sensitive Skin: If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, choose sunscreens labeled as non-comedogenic and fragrance-free to minimize the risk of irritation.
4. Sun Safety: While sunscreen is crucial, it’s also important to practice other sun-safe behaviors, such as seeking shade during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM) and wearing protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses.
