- Apply sunscreen daily, even on cloudy or hazy
days.
- Avoid sun exposure between the peak hours
of 10:00 AM-4:00 PM.
- When applying sunscreen, make sure you apply
it evenly and generously to all exposed areas
of the skin. Adults should use about one fluid
once per body application.
- Reapply often, as swimming, toweling off
and perspiration can diminish the sunscreen’s
effectiveness.
- Use extra protection for sensitive areas
such as your face, lips, shoulders, and ears.
Use
South Beach Sun’s Sport Zinc and Lickable
Lip Balm for those extra sensitive areas.
- If your skin becomes red, get out of the
sun! Sunburns can take over 24 hours to appear.
Prolonging
your exposure, after your skin becomes red,
could result in increased skin damage.
- Choose the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) that
is right for your skin type and time you intend
to spend in the sun. Click here to view our
SPF Chart.
- Wear a hat and sunglasses in order to obtain
extra protection from the sun.
- Use extra protection in tropical climates and
in areas with high altitude.
- If you are taking medications, consult your
physician before going into the sun. Some medications
can increase your sensitivity to the sun, making
sunburn more likely, and may irritate your skin.
- Take extra precautions when near highly reflective
surfaces such as water, sand, snow, and pavement.
These surfaces reflect and intensify exposure
to the sun.
- Make sure to moisturize your skin after exposure
to the sun. You can use South Beach Sun’s
Skin Replenisher or Tan
Extender every day.
- Watch for the signs of skin cancer:
- A growth or spot that
continues to hurt, itch, crust, scab, or
bleed.
- An open sore or wound
on your skin that does not heal for more than
4 weeks, or re-opens after it has healed.
- A mole, birthmark
or beauty mark that increases in size, changes
color or texture.
