Despite the widespread use of sunscreen, experts warn that most people do not use protection properly and still partially vulnerable to the harmful effects of the sun.

Cream, gel, spray, serum, with makeup and even mousse. There are several presentations of sunscreen. To find out which is best for you is necessary to consider certain criteria. The first is the type of skin.
Normal Skin: Normal skin has considered a level of controlled oiliness without drying. Regarding the sunscreen, it is recommended serum, lotion or spray, which is more resistant to contact with water and sweat.
Oily skin: Must be chosen, preferably by guards based gel, no fat and alcohol, as they are absorbed quickly by the skin without clogging the pores or leave skin shiny. Versions gel-cream, serum and mousse are also recommended because they are light and fluid.
Dry skin: Displays faded and opaque, rough touch, and requires extra care because of the greater tendency to aging. In this case, the ideal protector is in the cream version, so that moisturizes the skin. Opt for savers, lotion containing in its composition water and oil.
Sensitive Skin: Are they respond to any aggression in an exaggerated way. This type of skin usually has redness, itching, spots and tends to flake. Thus, lotions and gel-cream are the most suitable types.
Choose the correct FPS: The FPS number represents how many times the more your skin is protected against the harmful effect of the sun compared to no protection. The clearer, the greater the necessary protection, the higher the SPF. It will always be necessary for the sunscreen has protection against UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are the longest known to cause skin cancer, but UVA rays, by reducing the skin's defenses, also have a stake in the onset of disease.
Set in the amount: Should be applied a teaspoon of sunscreen tea on the face and neck, one guard soup spoon to the front of the trunk and one for the back, a tablespoon for each arm, a tablespoon to the front of each leg and one to the rear of each leg. With these quantities, the ideal is that her protector will last at most one month.
Apply properly: The creams can be spread in a circular motion of the hands, as the gel should be applied in one way, doing circles, otherwise the sunscreen will crumble and coverage is compromised. The spray should be sprinkled liberally onto the skin to ensure coverage, but should not be spread with hands below. This attitude undermines the cover and may expose some areas of the body burns.
The first application of sunscreen is the most important, especially when you go to the beach or pool, because this is a unique opportunity to create a homogeneous film over the entire skin. It should be made at home, no clothes, no sweating and the skin clean. The swimsuit or bikini can change position with the movement and, consequently, some area may be unprotected and suffer burn. Perspiration, in turn, can hamper uniform application of the filter. Remember the areas that are often forgotten, such as the back of the feet, hands, neck and ears. The reapplication must be made every three hours in the day to day and every two hours if you work outdoors, is sweating excessively or be at the beach or pool. After entering the pool or in the sea, is indicated to dry with the towel and reapply the product all over.
Sunscreen is not the only responsible for skin protection, the use of hats, clothing and other protective measures also has the same importance. The sun exposure time must occur before nine o'clock in the morning and later at 15 o'clock. The guard should be used at any time of day, even on cloudy days. There is no longer a 'nice sun' Now we know that UVA rays also cause cancer.
