Learn the Techniques: Do’s and Don’ts of Sunscreen

Life is simply not complete without sunscreen—and that’s something we should all remember!
In the Philippines, the warm weather, humidity, and sticky feeling on the skin make sun protection even more important. Always keep your sunscreen with you, and of course, the GWTG Sun Stick is the perfect choice for daily use. Whether you’re traveling during summertime or just staying at home, protecting your skin from UV rays is essential.

Below is your simple and practical guide to the do’s and don’ts of applying sunscreen for maximum protection.

Do’s

1. Apply sunscreen every day

Sunscreen is a daily must, even when you’re indoors. Use at least SPF 30 and make it part of your morning routine. This protects your skin from UV damage and keeps it looking healthy and glowing.

2. Use sunscreen at the right time

Timing matters.
• Sun creams: Apply 10–20 minutes before going outdoors.
• Sunscreen sprays or mists: Can be applied a few minutes before sun exposure.
Even at home, applying sunscreen at the start of your day ensures continuous protection.

3. Choose sunscreen suited for your skin type

Different skin types have different needs. The GWTG Sun Stick works for normal, dry, oily, and combination skin. With ceramides, hydration, and SPF 50++, it helps prevent acne, blemishes, and sun damage while keeping your skin fresh.

Don’ts

1. Don’t forget the small areas

Your neck, lips, ears, and hands also need protection. These spots are sensitive and often neglected, but they’re just as exposed to UV rays.

2. Don’t be fooled by higher SPF

A higher SPF doesn’t always mean better protection. What matters is choosing the right SPF and reapplying when needed. Balance and consistency give better results.

3. Don’t use expired sunscreen

Expired sunscreen loses its effectiveness and can irritate the skin. Always check the expiration date. If it’s no longer good, replace it with a fresh GWTG Sun Stick to ensure proper protection.

Stay Sun-Safe, Stay Confident

Sun protection is essential. Follow these do’s and don’ts to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and protected every day. With the GWTG Sun Stick, you can confidently enjoy the sun, wherever you go.
