Centrum tip - Get the best from your sunscreen
Last updated: 18 January 2008
Always use a sunscreen that protects your skin against UV-A and UV-B rays. The ingredients in sunscreen absorb ultraviolet radiation by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface. Energy from sunlight is converted to heat, and is dissipated harmlessly.

Take action: Sunscreens work best if they're used properly: shake the bottle before using it; rub it in well to ensure even coverage; when applying to your face, rub into hands, then apply to the face; wait ten minutes before having a swim, or it’ll just wash off; and reapply after swimming, drying off with a towel or sweating.
