โ๏ธ Another sunny weekend in Grampianโฆ donโt worry, weโre just as confused as you are. Remember...
๐งด When it comes to SPF, thirty is fine, but fifty is fabulous. The number indicates how long it will take UVB rays to redden the skin with product compared to no product.
๐ฅ Be generous. The NHS advises using 6 - 8 teaspoons per person, per application, to ensure all-over coverage.
๐ฅ Find a friend to help with any tricky-to-reach areas. Always remember the back of your neck, ears, hands, and lips.
๐ Give your sunscreen time to absorb and do its job properly.
๐ Re-apply regularly - at least every two hours and more frequently if you've been swimming.
โฑ๏ธ Stay in the shade between 11am - 3pm wherever possible; this is when the sun is at its highest and strongest.
๐ค A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection are essential.
๐ฐ Stay hydrated!
