It's National Sun Awareness Week and considering how militant I am about
us all wearing our sun protection, I decided we should dedicate a post
every day this week to fun sun facts and an awesome sunscreen pick -
enjoy and you're welcome!
Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Canadians… and it is also the most common cancer in the world, according to the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) which means that you can’t afford to not wear sunscreen!
If you're the sporty type and don't like sunscreen because it's always running in your eyes then you'll want to feast them on:
Neutrogena CoolDry Sport Sunscreen SPF 60 - 147ml - $14.99 - a non-greatsy, quick absorbing and oil-free lotion built for the toughest conditions of summer, even intense activities, so it stays on strong while you sweat with 80-minute water and sweat resistance. It is specially formulated with micromesh technology to allow your skin to breathe while you sweat so your skin feels clean and dry. It won’t run into eyes and also contains helioplex technology to provide photostable UVA/UVB protection for your skin.
Also available in an SPF 30 lotion as well as SPF 60 and SPF 30 in a spray format.

By following the CDA’s four simple steps outlined below,
you can help minimize your risk for the type of skin cancer with the
fastest-rising diagnosis rate, melanoma:
1.
Limit sun exposure during peak sun hours, 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and
especially around midday when the sun’s radiation is the
strongest.
2.
Seek shade as much as possible, especially when your shadow is
shorter than you. That is a key sign that the sun is directly overhead and its
rays are the strongest. Short shadow = seek shade!
3.
Wear protective hats and clothing. Though this doesn’t mean you
still shouldn’t apply sunscreen, so it’s important to remember to always apply
sunscreen to the parts of your skin that are exposed, like your face, lips, neck
and ears.
4.
Always use a SPF 30 or higher broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply
at least every two hours, and even earlier after swimming or sweating.
