The Proper Way to Apply Sunscreen!

It is recommended to apply sunscreen on the eyelid and medial canthal area to provide protection from ultraviolet light. The skin in these areas is very thin and delicate, and is more susceptible to damage from the sun's harmful rays. 

However, it is important to use a sunscreen that is specifically formulated for use around the eyes, as regular sunscreen may irritate the sensitive skin in this area. Look for a gentle, fragrance-free, and hypoallergenic sunscreen that is safe for use around the eyes. 

When applying sunscreen to the eyelid and medial canthal area, be gentle and avoid getting the product directly in your eyes. You can also consider wearing a hat or sunglasses with UV protection to further shield your eyes and the surrounding skin from the sun's harmful rays. 

it's important to apply sunscreen liberally to your face and body at least 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, even if you're staying indoors. This is because UV rays can penetrate through windows and cause skin damage even if you're not directly in the sun. 

It's also important to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, especially if you're in direct sunlight or if you've been swimming, perspiring, or toweling off. This is because sunscreen can wear off or be removed from the skin, reducing its effectiveness in protecting your skin from UV damage. 

Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is crucial to ensure that you're protected from both UVA and UVB rays, which can cause long-term damage to your skin and health. UVA rays can penetrate deeper into the skin and cause premature aging, while UVB rays are responsible for sunburns and can contribute to the development of skin cancer. 

Lukewarm SPF50+ Sunscreen - This advanced, mineral-rich concoction provides the highest protection grade, PA++++ that shields you 16 times from UVA and Ultra Long UVA rays before tanning. While the SPF 50+ forms a ‘force-field’ defence against the onslaught of daily stressors, including UVB, HEVL, Blue Light and IRA rays – one of the primary contributing factors to fine lines, dark spots and hyperpigmentation.  

PA++++ is a rating system used to measure the level of UVA protection provided by Lukewarm sunscreen. The more plus signs a product has, the higher the level of protection against UVA rays. A sunscreen with PA++++ provides the highest level of UVA protection, which is important for preventing premature aging and reducing the risk of skin cancer. 

In addition to UVA and UVB protection, some sunscreens also provide protection against other types of light that can damage the skin, such as high-energy visible light (HEVL), blue light, and infrared-A (IRA) rays. These types of light are increasingly recognized as contributing factors to skin damage and aging, so it's a good idea to look for a sunscreen that offers protection against them. 

Finally, it's worth noting that mineral sunscreens, which use ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are generally considered safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They work by physically blocking UV rays from penetrating the skin, rather than being absorbed like chemical sunscreens. 

If you’re planning a long day in the sun or at the beach, apply sunscreen as thoroughly as possible, and preferably cover yourself well! Also, wear a hat and sunglasses with UV filters for extra eyelid protection.
