Summer Beauty Club: Top 10 Lesser-Known Facts about Sun Care

With the weather heating up, many people are spending more time outside and wearing fewer layers – both of which can put them at risk for sun damage. To be extra safe in the sun, it’s vital to know the facts and use them wisely. Learn 10 lesser-known truths about proper sun care that’ll protect the skin, with Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Practicing Smart Sun Care With These 10 Lesser-Known Facts.”

1. Certain beauty ingredients can make skin extra susceptible to sun damage. For people who burn easily, they may be unknowingly applying products to their face and body that can actually accelerate UV damage. For instance, retinoids and products with glycolic acid, salicylic acid or retinol increase sensitivity to the sun. Avoid using these ingredients a week before spending time in the sun.

2. Stick to the “shadow rule.” This is a great rule of thumb that helps people gauge the strength of the sun. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, if a person’s shadow is shorter than he or she is, that means that the sun is at its strongest. Also indicative of the sun’s strength is the UV index. The Environmental Protection Agency has created a map detailing the UV index in every state to help people find out today’s UV index for a particular area.

3. An ounce of prevention is key. So how much should a person apply? To properly protect skin, make sure to apply an ounce of sunscreen to the body – at least. A good way to ensure proper application is to check the bottle. If the bottle is 4 ounces, it should be empty after four applications.
