Both protect your skin, but sunscreen takes about 20 minutes to start working.

]]> 77586 2 33 Tip Dermatologists recommend a teaspoon of sunscreen for the face and a shot glass full for the rest of the body.

]]> 77587 3 41 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/205994/41.jpg Look at the SPF number Understand the Sun Protection Factor number. SPF 15 means you can stay in the sun 15 times longer than the amount of time your skin could be exposed, unprotected, without burning. The SPF number only refers to UVB rays, but not UVA rays. Both have been linked to skin cancer.

]]> 77588 4 60 Tip An SPF 15 blocks 93 percent of the sun’s UVB rays, SPF 30 blocks 97 percent, and SPF 50 blocks 99 percent.

]]> 77589 5 72 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/205994/72.jpg Check the ingredients Check the ingredients. Though nothing has been proven definitively, concerns have been raised about the safety of the ingredients PABA and oxybenzone, also known as benzophenone-3, so consider avoiding them in favor of micronized zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide.

]]> 77590 6 88 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/205994/88.jpg Get &quot;broad spectrum&quot; Choose a sunscreen that offers “broad spectrum protection” to protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays. Look for one that contains Mexoryl.

]]> 77591 7 101 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/205994/101.jpg Be skeptical Be skeptical of claims like “natural,” “all-day protection” and “blocks all harmful rays.” These boasts are often exaggerations.

]]> 77592 8 109 Tip There’s no such thing as a truly “sweat-proof” or “waterproof” sunscreen, so reapply often if you’re sweating or swimming.

]]> 77593 9 118 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/205994/118.jpg Check the expiration date Check the expiration date to make sure it’s still potent. Chuck an open bottle of sunscreen if you’ve had it for more than a year.
