USE A SUNSCREEN
Select
a sunscreen with the correct SPF (Sunburn Protection Factor) for your
skin type and level of tan when you are tanning outdoors. It is also critical
to apply the correct amount of sunscreen to achieve the stated protection.
The proper amount to use is 1 1/4 oz. (a full handful) for each adult
full body application. If you use half the amount, you will cut your protection
time in half (i.e. SPF 8 only gives 4 times more protection instead of
8 times). The sun inactivates the active ingredients in sunscreen products
and they should be reapplied every 2 hours to achieve full effectiveness.
Sunscreen
can be used indoors to protect sensitive body areas. However, in a controlled
environment (indoors), we are able to control your exposure with decreased
time rather than use of sunscreen.
