Julie Kendrick writes about growing, making and eating food, plus whatever else is interesting. Her role model is Betty Crocker (1965 version), and she aspires, someday, to wear pearls while cooking. Words to live by: 'To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites.' -- Robert A. Heinlein.

Do you start at your feet and move up? Give it all a quick spray and move on? If you’ve fallen into a routine of using sunscreen each day, you may be surprised to hear that there’s a preferred method for how it should be applied.Face-first is always the way to go, experts said. “I recommend starting at the face and then working your way down the body to your feet, so that you don’t wind up with bacteria from your body on your face,” said dermatologist Dr.

But that’s not the only method. “Alternatively, you could take a glob of product and spread it into both hands by rubbing them together, followed by one large application to the entire face with both hands,” Davis said.. “If you’re using chemical sunscreen, it should be as close to the skin as possible and preferably the first product applied before moisturiser, then makeup. If you’re using a thin serum like a vitamin C, then the serum would be applied first.

As you’re paying attention to application, make sure you’re getting even coverage — especially in spots you might otherwise miss. “Many people realise the importance of applying sunscreen to the face, but other areas like the ears, neck and back of the hands also receive a significant amount of UV radiation and are common sites for skin cancer,” said dermatologist and Mohs surgeon Dr.. “Tinted sunscreens contain iron oxides that protect against blue light, infrared and visible light as well.

And keep reapplying it as long as you’re in the sun. “If you’re outside for longer than two hours, you need to reapply sunscreen,” Hartman said.
