Sunscreens

Its all very well having a bottle of sun tan lotion, and all the fuss about SPF ratings, but if you don't put enough of the stuff on, its not growing to work.

The EU went as far as including notes on this, reducing the amount you put on by 50% protection would be reduced by 2 thirds.

"5. How should sunscreen products be used by consumers'

It is important to know that sunscreen products have their full effect only if used in sufficient quantities: To protect the whole body of an average-seized adult, a quantity of 35 grams of the sunscreen product needs to be applied. This is a quantity equal to approximately six filled tea spoons. Moreover, it is crucial to frequently re-apply these products to maintain protection – in particular after swimming, bathing or towelling. "

So the next time you apply some sun cream, or location, read the instructions carefully, and make sure you apply the correct amounts, else you will have little or no protection at all.
