Protecting your skin may be easier with some guidelines from dermatologist Dr. Craig Eichler:
• Pre-apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure so it has time to absorb.
• Reapply every 80 minutes and after swimming or sweating.
• If you wear insect repellent or makeup, apply sunscreen first.
• Be generous. It takes at least one ounce of sunscreen to cover the arms, legs, neck and face.
• Choose products with an effective, broad-spectrum sun-blocking ingredient such as Parsol 1789 and a minimum of SPF 15.
• Check expiration dates. Exposure to extreme temperatures can shorten sunscreen's life.
• If cream sunscreens feel too heavy, try a gel or spray, such as PreSun Gel, which has a light feel, or new PreSun Spray, which is light and quick to apply.
• A wet T-shirt only provides SPF 4 protection, so apply sunscreen under clothes.

Reapply sunscreen every 80 minutes, even if it says it is waterproof. Make sure you use enough to cover yourself.
