Daily sunscreen for teens: why it matters and how to make it a habit
Daily sunscreen is one of the most important skincare habits a tween or teen can learn. According to a dermatologist at Children's Wisconsin, sun exposure is the biggest cause of skin aging, which makes sun protection the best "anti-aging" step at any age.
How to use it
Follow the directions on your sunscreen label. For Ready Set Sun Broad Spectrum SPF 30+:
- Apply generously to clean skin as the final step in your morning routine, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply every two hours when outdoors, or after swimming or sweating.
- Use it with other sun protection measures, like hats, protective clothing and shade.
Make it a habit
- Keep sunscreen next to the toothbrush so it's part of the morning routine.
- Pick a lightweight formula that doesn't feel greasy, so teens actually want to wear it.
- Pack a bottle in sports bags for outdoor practice and games.
- Lead by example and wear it yourself.
