How to Use Sunscreens Effectively? http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19392-ancient-bacteria-could-improve-antiageing-cosmetics.html#.VWCuoJNoMqM Choose a water-resistant sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection: Since water makes sunscreen less effective, choosing a water-resistant formula will prolong its protection. Sunscreens labeled as broad-spectrum protect against both UVA and UVB rays. All sunscreens protect against UVB rays, which are the main cause of sunburn and skin cancers. But UVA rays also contribute to skin cancer and premature aging. Key features: This option is safe for sensitive skin and offers impressive broad spectrum SPF 100 protection. It’s also free of oxybenzone, which is one of the more controversial sunscreen ingredients, according to the EWG.

Apply sunscreen about 15–30 minutes before going outdoors. Since it takes about 15 minutes for sunscreen to be absorbed by your skin and offer protection, be sure to leave enough time in advance. UVC: This has the shortest wavelength and is the most damaging type, however it is completely filtered by the atmosphere and therefore does not reach the earth surface. There is not always a proportionate increase in sun protection levels as SPF increases. SPF 30 provides 97% protection, whereas SPF 100 provides 99% protection, so there is only a 2% increase between SPF 30 and SPF 100.Look for a sunscreen that says "broad spectrum" or "full spectrum" on the label and that has an SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Does Higher SPF Matter?
Key features: This mineral sunscreen is formulated without the chemicals, fragrances, or irritants used in many sunscreen products, including octinoxate. Beneficial ingredients include emollients and fatty acids.
The SPF number tells you how long the sun’s UV radiation would take to redden your skin when using the product exactly as directed versus the amount of time without any sunscreen. So ideally, with SPF 30 it would take you 30 times longer to burn than if you weren’t wearing sunscreen. Find out if kids need different sunscreens from adults, if sunscreen can be toxic, and whether it matters if you’re slathering on SPF 100. READ MORE
