Step1
Kick up the degree of protection for your face. Sunscreen that is good for the face is light and has a high level of sunblocking agents while the body lotions most people use tend to be thicker. Sometimes, they're not advanced enough for protecting the delicate skin around your eyes, nose and lips.
Step2
Use a sunscreen that's safe and comfortable for your face. Select a sweat-proof product for your face, so it will not run into your eyes or mouth. While the consistency of the sunscreen is important in a facial product, it is also wise to look for a word called non-comedogenic, which means that the lotion won't clog your pores.
Step3
Apply sunscreen on your face slowly to avoid the white patches that can occur if the sunscreen is not put on correctly. Working outward, apply the sunscreen on your face, and then put it on your hairline, temples, ears and the front and back of your neck.
Step4
Find healthy facial sunscreens that are formulated with natural soy proteins and antioxidants to enhance the skin's health. Such oil-free formulas can be hypoallergenic and water resistant. The Kiss My Face and Burt's Bees websites both list many natural products for skin protection (see Resources below).
Step5
Mist your face with a spray sunscreen for a fresh and cooling way to protect your skin. These facial sprays are designed to provide the skin with UVA protection and broad-spectrum UV defense against sun damage. If you hate to rub products onto your face, Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-Lite Sunscreen Mist can provide an easy alternative.
Step6
Protect your nose if you are working as a lifeguard. A zinc cream with micronized zinc oxide and titanium dioxide gives long-lasting protection. You can find zinc creams in flesh tones, so you won't have to deal with unsightly white streaks.
