SPF always depends on the number of hours you are going to stay in the sun, and even if you are traveling by car apply a sun-screen of at least 15 SPF as sunrays penetrate even through glass." Sunscreen works best when applied half an hour before going out in the sun, and reapply whenever there is sweating. "Always wear a sunscreen. On the beach and swimming pool wear SPF 25% to 50%. Keep the texture of the sunscreen according to your skin type. For oily skin wear a sunscreen lotion and for dry skin wear a cream," says Makeup Consultant, Shalini Vasisht. "Use mineral foundation whenever you are out in the sun, as this forms a wall between your skin and the sun rays, thus protection your skin from tan," adds Makeup Artist, Meenakshi Dutt. I am sure these precautionary measures will make you bask in the glory of summerian sun.
