00:00 Joyful is the time when you get to spend more time outside and also need to
00:06 regularly apply sunscreen. The American Academy of Dermatology says we should
00:11 use a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30. Apply at least 15 minutes before
00:17 going outside. It takes time to absorb and if you apply sunscreen for the first
00:21 time of the day outside you are already getting hit by harmful rays. Apply
00:26 sunscreen to all skin not covered by clothing. Dermatologist Dr. Corey Hartman
00:32 tells HuffPost that top-down is the way to go. "I recommend starting at
00:37 the face and then working your way down the body to your feet so that you don't
00:41 wind up with bacteria from your body on your face." Last but not least
00:46 don't forget to reapply every two hours or after going in the water or sweating.
