Always give sunscreen 20 minutes to absorb before going outside.
RE-APPLY, RE-APPLY, RE-APPLY
Apply sunscreen every two hours (and more often after swimming, using a towel or when sweating).
GET COVERED
Sunscreen is only part of staying sun safe, so always get extra protection from wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts and sunglasses.
STAY COOL
The day is usually at its hottest between midday and 3pm, so find shade during those hours.
