A couple caveats before you go shopping;
- Remember that sunscreen can expire and becomes less effective
-
Reapply after 80 minutes & after being in the water
-
Choose a broad spectrum formula to protect your skin from both UVA & UVB rays
-
Lotions are typically better than sprays for coverage
-
Physical or mineral formulas are best to deflect harmful rays
-
Dermatologists suggest applying enough to soak in, & then apply a 2nd time for true coverage
