Did you know it takes about a shot glass full of suntan lotion to slather on every time you wear it. Most people do not use enough even when they do remember to put it on their skin. Try measuring out a shot glass the next time you apply sunscreen or two tablespoons full. A three ounce bottle of sunscreen contains three aplications.
Four ounces has four applications and so on. Choose a broad spectrum product to block both ageing and UVA rays and cancer causing UVB rays- then reapply it at least every two hours advises Brook A. Jackson, M.D.,assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Northwestern University Medical School
