Before heading outside, you may be in the habit of slapping SPF on your face, arms, and legs. And that’s a start but don’t stop there.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, most adults need 1 ounce (or 2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to cover exposed skin on the whole body. But, they add, most people only apply between 25 and 50 percent of that amount.
