The summer season is in and its time to bring out your best sunscreen lotions to protect yourself from becoming dark and getting awfully tanned. Sunscreen lotions prevents one from getting tanned to a certain extent, but you have to make sure that you take proper care once you are out in the sun.

It is said that there are certain lotions when applied to the skin does not help one from tanning, so go in for good brands like that of Lakme,Jolen and Neutrogena.

There are certain tips to keep in mind when you apply sunscreen lotion to your beautiful skin to avoid allergies and rashes on the nose, lips, eyes and ears.

These sunscreen lotion tips are as follows. It is indeed appropriate to apply lotion to your body before you set out in the scorching sun.

1.The basic rule is that before you set outdoors, apply sunscreen lotions to the parts of your body which is more exposed to the sun 30 minutes earlier. This gives it enough time for the skin to absorb the lotion and thus react.

2.Another sunscreen lotion tip to follow is never apply a lotion which is expired as it will tend you give you harsh skin rashes and allergies. See to it that the date is checked before you purchase. It is also said that the lotion can be kept for 2 years and not longer!

3.One of the most common sunscreen lotion tip is to first cleanse your face properly before applying as your face might have dust particles which are minute that can affect your skin later on.

4.One of the best sunscreen lotion tip that I have ever heard of is that the regular use of it can actually give you flawless skin in the long run which helps you in reducing the chances of wrinkles, skin pigmentation and even skin cancer.

5.One thing to keep in mind this summer season when applying lotion is to apply a good amount of it generously over the body. If the lotion states it has SPF15 make sure that you spread the lotion evenly so that it works.

6.Another sunscreen lotion tip is to make sure that you reapply every time you feel it has run out. Importantly for swimmers and sports women, the lotion gets washed away in the water and due to excessive sweat. It doesn't matter even if the lotion is waterproof, it still will be ineffective.

These are some of the tips you can take control of this summer season.
