Originally Published 6 months ago — by The Telegraph
To effectively protect your skin from UV damage and skin cancer, apply a generous amount of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher at least 30 minutes before sun exposure, reapply every two hours, and use additional protection like hats and shade. 'Once a day' sunscreens are generally insufficient, and SPF in makeup should be considered a top-up, not primary protection. Regular reapplication is crucial, especially after swimming or sweating, to prevent cumulative UV damage and premature aging.
