Ultrasun Top Tips
Using Expired Sunscreen
Sunscreen efficacy diminishes over time. Using an expired product may not give you the level of protection advertised. Always check the expiration date on your UltraSun product to ensure it’s still effective.
Relying Solely on Sunscreen
While sunscreen is crucial, it’s part of a broader sun safety strategy. Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses, seek shade during peak sun hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), and stay hydrated to protect your skin from the sun comprehensively.
Sunscreen in Isolation
Don’t forget your lips and eyes need protection too. Use a lip balm with SPF and wear UV-protective sunglasses to shield these sensitive areas from harmful rays.
Ignoring Cloudy Days
UV rays can penetrate through clouds, meaning you can still get sunburned on overcast days. Apply UltraSun sunscreen even when the sun isn’t shining brightly to ensure full protection.
Forgetting Aftercare
If you’ve been in the sun, extend the care by using after-sun products to soothe, hydrate, and repair your skin. UltraSun’s AfterSun is a great option, providing moisture and helping extend your tan.
Neglecting Daily Protection
Sun protection isn’t just for the beach—UVA rays penetrate through windows, contributing to premature aging. Incorporate an UltraSun face product with SPF into your daily skincare routine, rain or shine.
Layering Incorrectly
If you use skincare products or makeup along with your sunscreen, apply the UltraSun product first to clean, dry skin. This ensures the sun protection film forms effectively on your skin.
Quick Guide: Preventing and Treating Sunscreen Stains on Clothes Preventing Stains:
Wait for Absorption: Allow sunscreen to fully absorb into your skin before dressing, roughly 15-30 minutes.
Careful Application: Apply sunscreen away from clothing to avoid direct spills or splatters.
Dress Smart: Opt for sun-specific or darker clothing when using high SPF or waterproof sunscreen to minimize visible stains.
Treating Stains:
Blot, Don’t Rub: Gently blot any fresh stains with a dry cloth to remove excess sunscreen.
Pre-Treat: Apply a stain remover or dish soap directly to the stain. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
Wash: Launder using cold water according to fabric care instructions.
Air Dry: Hang the garment to dry to avoid setting the stain with heat.
Repeat the treatment process if the stain remains after the first wash
