- 1). Stay out of the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is when the sun's rays are the hottest, strongest and can burn your the easiest.
- 2). Wear SPF lotion. Many face and body creams/lotions now contain SPF in them. Use these lotions on a daily basis to help protect from everyday occurrences like walking your dog or simply running errands.
- 3). Wear SPF sunblock if you know you're going to be in the sun. Purchase sunblock in the highest SPF you can find. Always remember to reapply the lotion after a couple of hours, after sweating or after swimming.
- 4). Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your head, face and neck from the sun's rays.
- 5). Wear longer clothing. Although you do not want to be uncomfortable if it's hot outside, longer pants and a short-sleeved shirt will keep you better protected than shorts and a tank top.
- 6). Apply a skin lightening cream to your skin every night before bed. This will help to prevent your skin from become discolored, freckled or tanned. However, these creams can be irritating on sensitive skin, so check with your doctor before using a skin lightener.
