Step-by-Step: How to Apply Sunscreen Effectively

Correct sunscreen application is essential to protect skin from sun damage. In this article, we present a simple and effective step-by-step guide to ensure proper sunscreen application to the face, providing protection against UVA and UVB rays throughout the year.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Sunscreen

Step 1: Choose the ideal sunscreen for your skin type

Before you start, choose a sunscreen suitable for your skin type. There are specific options for oily, dry, sensitive or combination skin. Be sure to choose a broad-spectrum product that offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays, and with an appropriate sun protection factor (SPF).

Step 2: Prepare your skin

For effective application, skin should be clean and dry:

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and rinse thoroughly.
2. Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel, avoiding rubbing your skin.

Step 3: Apply an adequate amount of sunscreen

Quantity is essential to ensure correct protection:

• For the face, about one teaspoon (5 ml) of sunscreen is recommended.
• Place the product on your fingertips and spread, starting from the center of the face and moving outwards. Be sure to cover all exposed areas, such as the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and neck.

Step 4: Gently massage

Spread the sunscreen with gentle, circular movements until it is completely absorbed by the skin. Pay special attention to areas most exposed to the sun, such as the nose and cheekbones.

Step 5: Don't forget your lips and ears

Lips and ears also need protection:

• Use a lip balm with an adequate SPF.
• Apply a small amount of sunscreen to your ears, spreading gently.

Step 6: Reapply throughout the day

To maintain the effectiveness of sunscreen:

• Reapply every two hours.
• If you sweat or come into contact with water, reapply immediately, even if the sunscreen is water-resistant.

Step 7: Use complementary accessories

In addition to sunscreen, protect yourself by using accessories such as:

• Wide-brimmed hats.
• Sunglasses with UV protection.
• Clothing that covers exposed skin, such as long-sleeved shirts.
