Guide To Treating And Preventing Sun Poisoning

Wear Quality Sunscreen

To reduce the risk of sun poisoning, dermatologists advise everyone to wear quality sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least thirty. Sunscreens are available in both spray and cream formulations, and many types are water-resistant. In general, doctors advise that patients wear sunscreen at all times while outdoors, and it is especially important to reapply it every two hours. Even if it is a cloudy day, dermatologists still recommend wearing sunscreen. Individuals need to ensure they apply sunscreen to all exposed skin, including the face, neck, and backs of the ears. The tops of the feet and the hands are frequently forgotten. Patients should remember to apply a lip balm with at least SPF 15 before going outside. For most adults, one ounce of sunscreen is enough for a single application across the body. Sunscreen needs to be applied at least fifteen minutes before an individual goes outside, and patients should reapply it immediately after they get out of the water.
