How to Protect the Face With SPF Products

Stop the sun from damaging your skin by protecting your face with products that include an SPF rating of 15 or higher. The SPF rates the time it takes for protected skin to sunburn compared to the amount of time it takes for unprotected skin to sunburn. Keep your face protected from sun damage to maintain healthy, youthful skin.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Moisturize your skin daily with products rated SPF 15 or higher. Facial moisturizers are available for men and women from a wide variety of personal hygiene product retailers.
2. Buy lip balm for colorless lip protection. Apply the lip balm several times a day, especially if outdoors. Purchase tinted lip balm as a substitute for lipstick if you suffer from chapped or dry lips. Choose lip products with an SPF rating to prevent lip discoloration and burns.
3. Use sunblock when having fun in the sun. Buy a facial sunblock to prevent the acne and burning eyes often caused by all-body sunblock. Remember to reapply sunblock after swimming or strenuous exertion. Wear water resistant sunblock when swimming. Read the label of water resistant sunblock to determine when it needs to be reapplied.
4. Protect your face by wearing a hat or cap in addition to wearing a high rated SPF product. Block dangerous ultraviolet rays by wearing clothing with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 30 of higher.
