\"\"<\/a>Here are some simple tips for sunscreen selection and use from CNN<\/a>:<\/p>

- Use a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 and a maximum of SPF 50. SPF 15 can block 93% of incoming UVB rays. SPF 30 blocks 97%. SPF 50 blocks 98%.<\/p>

- Make sure labels list both UVA and UVB protection <\/p>

You get exposed to both UVA and UVB light:<\/p>

UVB<\/b> light is the light that B<\/b>urns (causes sunburn)
UVA<\/b> light as the light that A<\/b>ges the skin (wrinkles, etc.)<\/p>

- Avoid products containing oxybenzone and retinyl palminate. They may get absorbed through the skin and may increase cancer risk<\/p>

- Choose lotions versus spray sunscreens for a more evenly distribution<\/p>

- Remember to apply at least 2 ounces of lotion (about a shot glass full). Reapply every 2 hours. Reapply after swimming or heavy sweating.<\/p>
