AND HOW MUCH SUNCREAM DO YOU NEED?
As A general rule, the British Association of Dermatologists says you need at least six teaspoons of suncream to cover the body. Justine Hextall, a consultant dermatologist at University Hospitals sussex NHs Trust, recommends . . . FOR YOUR FACE WHETHER a standard suncream or a facial moisturiser with SPF, you need: FOREHEAD: 1 x 10p-sized blob. NOSE: 1 x 5p-sized blob. REST OF YOUR FACE AND NECK (FRONT AND BACK): At least a 10p blob for each side — and don’t forget your ears (the tops, the lobes and also inside the rim of the ear). HAIRLINE & SCALP: If you’re not going to wear a hat, use a 5p blob. If you’re losing your hair, use a 50p blob. FOR YOUR BODY BACK: 2 x 50p-sized blobs. SHOULDERS: 2 x 10p-sized blobs. CHEST: 1 x 50p-sized blob. ARMS & LEGS: 1 x 10p-sized blob on each upper and lower arm, the same for each leg (don’t forget feet) — i.e. eight 10p blobs in total. STOMACH: 1 x 10p blob.
