How to apply sunscreen:Use enough sunscreen to liberally cover all exposed areas, especially the face, nose, ears, feet and hands. If using a chemical sunscreen, it’s best to apply it 15 to 30 minutes before going outdoors to give it time to absorb. If the sunscreen irritates the skin, try a different brand or a mineral sunscreen with titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.
