SKIN SAFE SUN FACTS
Dr. Verallo-Rowell, a dermatologist and the brains behind hypoallergenic skin care line VMV Hypoallergenics offers five fab tips on how to keep the skin safe in the sun.

DO Use A Sunscreen That Protects Against Both UVA and UVB Light. Even indoor visible and infrared light can cause skin hyperpigmentations, so it's a good idea to wear sunscreen on the face every day

DO Apply More Sunscreen Than You Think You Need -- at least 1 oz. for the entire body

DO Apply Sunscreen 30 Minutes Prior To Going Outside so ingredients have time to bind to the skin

DO Re-Apply Sunscreen Every 2 Hours When Exposed To Sun and every 1 hour when swimming

DO Wear A Wide Brim Hat And Sunglasses to shade the face, head, ears and necks for further protection and to prevent early signs of aging
