Five effective ways to wear sunscreen the right way 

Meemansa Shekhawat

Sunscreen is an important part of skincare routine as it shields the skin against the harmful UV rays of the sun. Here are some tips to wear the SPF the right way. 

1. Use consistently: Applying sunscreen on a daily basis is recommended, even if you are staying indoors. It reduces early signs of ageing and prevents skin cancer. 

2. Apply evenly: Apply the sunscreen evenly on your skin. Do not overlook areas such as under the eyes, behind the ears, and neck. 

3. The 15-minute rule: Wear the sunscreen 15 minutes before stepping out as it gives your skin the time to absorb it. 

4. Reapplying: Reapply your sunscreen every two hours. 

 5. Choose the right SPF: Choose the right sunscreen according to your skin texture. Check the expiry date before using it.
