Check your sunscreen dateOne in 10 Brits say they rarely use SPF, while one in 20 say they never do so – despite advice to apply it every day, according to a survey.And a lot of Brits also don’t know that most sunscreens have a three-year shelf life.The more the bottle is opened and closed, the more likely it is that germs will contaminate the bottle and cause the quality to degrade.That’s why it’s recommended you write the first date of use on the bottle to remind yourself how long it has been open for.Re-apply sunscreenExperts say reapplication of all types of sunscreen is recommended every two hours, even for once-a-day formulas. Dermatologists claim this is because no matter how carefully you apply, parts of the body will likely be missed.This could leave particular areas of skin vulnerable for the whole day. Meanwhile, perspiration, water and wiping off dirt can all remove even the strongest sunscreens.Melanoma Fund CEO Michelle Baker said: “As a parent, lead by example and apply to your skin as well as theirs.”Be wary of raysExperts warned Brits that it’s possible to get a sunburn on overcast days with clouds not protecting against UV rays.Just five sunburns in your lifetime doubles the risk of skin cancer, according to research in the British Journal of Dermatology.Shade protectsAlong with clothing, shade is the best UV protection, according to the expert.From March to October, NHS guidelines suggest spending some time in the shade from 11am to 3pm and make sure you never burn.If shade is hard to come by, it is recommended to use temporary structures such as gazebos, sails, or sports umbrellas. Light fabricsDr Blakeway-Manning advises sun-seekers to wear light clothes that have a tight weave.These offer the best protection as a tight weave leaves very few holes in between — preventing rays from filtering through. The dermatologist said: “You can test suitability by holding the fabric up to the sun. “If none or minimal light filters through, you’re sorted.”Don’t use sunbedsThe expert also warned against the risk of sunbeds to get a tan.Although popular, sunbeds give out UV light which in some doses is even stronger than a midday tropical sun.
