By Lynne BlackPublished 8 months ago 4 min read

So, today is Sunscreen Day. Apply, reapply, and protect. Hence, it is essential to protect your skin while enjoying the sun. Keep scrolling to learn about he importance of using sun protection products.

Sunscreen Day

National Sunscreen Day is celebrated every year on May 27th.

Moreover, everyone must understand the harm caused by UVA/UVB light. Whether you are headed to the beach, lounging by the pool, or spending time outdoors, it is essential that you apply sunscreen lotion or spray before spending time in the sun.

Since many consider Memorial Day to be the beginning of the Summer season, you should learn the importance of sun safety. To learn more about the importance of skin cancer, visit my Skin Cancer Prevention Month post.

Because the sun and UV tanning beds are deadly, carcinomas and melanoma, we can be affected by them if we don’t use proper protection.

So, today is a day designated to learn the best ways to protect your skin.

Apply, Reapply, and Repeat

Although today is National Sunscreen Day, it is important to use the best products with an SPF of 30 or more all the time.

However, make sure the product you use has the words Broad Spectrum listed. Meanwhile, Broad Spectrum protects you against the harmful UVA/UVB ultraviolet rays.

When you are using sun lotion or spray, make sure you apply it all over your face and body. Also, make sure the lotion has absorbed into your skin.

Bullfrog Quick Gel Sunscreen SPF 50

With a broad spectrum, this sunscreen will protect you from the harmful UVA/UVB rays.

In addition, this product is Oxy-Benzone free and has an octinoxate-free formula.

Also, this product goes on clear. When you rub this lotion, it will give you a lightweight and non-greasy feel. But the key is to apply it 15 minutes before your skin is exposed to the sun and to reapply it every 90 minutes or more if you are sweating or swimming.

Sun Bum Original SPF 50

In my opinion, this is one of the best sunscreens available.

Not only will this moisturize your skin, but more importantly, it protects you from the dangerous UVA/UVB rays.

Additionally, this sunscreen is enriched with antioxidants and Vitamin E.

Apply 15 minutes before you head into the sun.

Reapply every 90 minutes or more if you are sweating, using your towel excessively, or have been in the water.

Repeat!

La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 100

Though this sunscreen is a little more expensive than other brands, it is worth it. Moreover, it has some different features, such as a higher SPF.

Many Dermatologists highly recommend this sunscreen lotion.

This lotion has broad-spectrum protection and has a tropical leaf extract that helps fight skin-damaging radicals caused by the sun, which can accelerate your skin’s aging.

In addition, you may want to look for a cool, comfortable spot in the shade. However, even if you find a shady spot, make sure you still use sunscreen products on your skin.

Zero Gravity Chairs – Set of 2

Whether you are in the sun or the shade, these chairs will protect you from the harmful UVA/UVB rays.

Meanwhile, these chairs can smoothly adjust to a reclining position, and they have an adjustable canopy and a detachable tray.

Also, these chairs are easy to transport with you wherever you are going.

The set of 2 is available in 4 colors.

Furthermore, your face and head are prone to skin cancer, like the rest of your body. With this in mind, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.

So, this hat style was made from an 85% moisture polyester with a water-resistant coating.
