Ideally all over obviously, but what are the key areas on the body to do first and the areas not to miss?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Jason Thomson:&nbsp;<\/strong>The sun\u2019s UV rays are the main cause of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-sun-protection-and-skin-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\">skin cancer<\/a>&nbsp;and premature ageing and&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skincare-and-the-sun-guide-freckles-sun-spots-spf-and-makeup-know-how\/\" target=\"_blank\">sunscreen<\/a>&nbsp;is a key tool in our armoury for protecting our skin. Applying sunscreen is really about protecting all of your exposed skin and the order you apply doesn\u2019t make a difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some areas are commonly missed when applying sunscreen \u2013 the back is often missed, unsurprisingly, as you\u2019ll usually need an extra person to help you reach this area and men, in particular, are at an increased risk of developing&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-sun-protection-and-skin-cancer\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">melanoma<\/a>&nbsp;on their backs. The back of the neck, scalp (if you have a bald spot or shave your hair), hands and feet (soles in particular) are also often missed so make sure you pay attention to these areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People often don\u2019t think about their lips but they get a lot of&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-sun-protection-and-skin-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\">sun exposure<\/a>, particularly your bottom lip where we frequently see skin cancers develop so it\u2019s important to wear a sunscreen lip balm when out in strong sunlight. The eyelids are another area that is often forgotten which is understandable as this is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on the body and can be easily irritated \u2013 wearing UV protective sunglasses will give good protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people don\u2019t apply enough sunscreen to get anywhere near the SPF advertised on the bottle with studies showing that most of us apply less than half of the required amount. For a lotion, 36g or 6 teaspoons of sunscreen is needed for an average-sized adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>\u201cMost people don\u2019t apply enough sunscreen to get anywhere near the SPF advertised on the bottle.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dermatologists will generally recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (which means it protects against UVA and UVB rays) with at least SPF 30.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>How often and when should I apply body sunscreen?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Jason Thomson:&nbsp;<\/strong>Remember the sun is at its strongest between 11am and 3pm when it\u2019s sunny which is why we recommend seeking shade during these times if you can.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-cold-weather-skincare-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\">Winter sunlight<\/a>&nbsp;can be strong, particularly when at altitude and near reflective surfaces such as snow so you should protect exposed skin in these situations too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should apply your sunscreen generously to all exposed skin, around 20 minutes before going out into the sun. It\u2019s also recommended to reapply your sunscreen around 15 to 30 minutes after sun exposure begins. This is to help cover any patches you may have missed and to account for the fact most people don\u2019t put on enough sunscreen in the first place. You should reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours and after swimming, vigorous exercise, sweating and towelling. Even if your sunscreen says water-resistant, towelling has been shown to get rid of most of the sunscreen so it\u2019s safest to reapply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunscreen is only one tool in your armoury against the sun\u2019s damaging rays and no sunscreen is 100% effective. Good sun behaviour also includes wearing protective clothing, and sunglasses and seeking shade between 11am and 3pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skin + Me:<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>If I do get burnt, should I use an aftersun? Do I apply sunscreen on top of aftersun?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Jason Thomson:&nbsp;<\/strong>The key is not to get burnt! Even a tan without burning is your skin telling you that it\u2019s been damaged by the sun\u2019s rays. If you do get burnt by the sun then products like aftersun can help improve the symptoms of redness and soreness. They\u2019ll usually contain moisturising ingredients and soothing ingredients such as aloe vera that can make the skin more comfortable and cool.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-sun-protection-and-skin-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sunburnt skin<\/a>&nbsp;shouldn\u2019t be exposed to the sun until it\u2019s fully healed so if on holiday and you get burnt it\u2019s best to avoid the sun and seek shade or cover up with clothing until your skin has settled back down. It\u2019s also advisable to drink lots of water and take pain relief (such as paracetamol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em>\u201cEven a tan without burning is your skin telling you that it\u2019s been damaged by the sun\u2019s rays.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the symptoms of&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-sun-protection-and-skin-cancer\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sunburn<\/a>&nbsp;are temporary, lasting damage remains as your skin cells\u2019 DNA is damaged and it\u2019s the leading contributor to skin cancers which can be deadly.

Can I use them instead of topical sunscreen?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr Jason Thomson:&nbsp;<\/strong>The concept of SPF tablets, or \u2018oral photoprotection\u2019, has gained a lot of interest over the past few years and increasing amounts of research is happening in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, they\u2019re antioxidant supplements that work in a completely different way to sunscreens by protecting your skin from the downstream effects of the sun\u2019s UV rays \u2013 by inhibiting the formation of harmful molecules (called reactive oxygen species) and protecting the skin\u2019s DNA. Polypodium leucotomos extract (which is found in a fern plant from Central and South America) is one of the most promising ingredients and it\u2019s been shown in clinical trials to protect the skin against&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-sun-protection-and-skin-cancer\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UV damage<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These supplements can be a good additional sun protection measure and should always be used alongside other good sun protection measures such as sunscreen and sun-protective clothing \u2013 they shouldn\u2019t be relied on for adequate sun protection alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#deecf5\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong>Common sunscreen myths<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Myth: <\/strong><em>Sunscreen makes oily skin worse<\/em>.<br><br><strong>Truth: <\/strong>Not all sunscreens will clog your pores.

Cover up and stay out of direct sunlight when the sun is at its most powerful (between 11am and 3pm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Myth:&nbsp;<\/strong><em>SPF 30 means I can spend an extra 30 minutes in the sun.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Truth:&nbsp;<\/strong>Wouldn\u2019t it be lovely if it were as easy as this?
