To
help prevent skin damage, Goldhar recommends sunscreens with an SPF of 30
or greater. He suggests applying the sun protection to all exposed skin
about 10 to 15 minutes prior to sun exposure. There should be enough cream
on the skin to leave a slightly milky-white film, which absorbs into the
skin within ten minutes.
The survey found that 66 per cent of
women and 43 per cent of men knew to apply sunscreen 15 to 20 minutes
before sun exposure.
The survey also found Quebec residents to be
the most sun smart, with 67 per cent recognizing the need to apply
sunscreen 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure.
While Manitoba and
Saskatchewan residents are the least sun smart, with only 50 per cent
knowing when to apply sunscreen.
When it comes to reapplying
sunscreen Albertans are the most sun smart, with 37 per cent applying
their sunscreen every two hours.
Ontarians are the least sun smart
about re-applications with only 25 per cent applying sunscreen every two
hours, and 31 per cent only applying sunscreen once while outdoors.
