The level of protection you have from sun exposure depends on how you spread sunscreen across your skin. Researchers from King's College London, England conducted an experiment to find out the thickness of product people should aim to use.
The study titled "Sub-optimal Application of a High SPF Sunscreen Prevents EpiderÂmal DNA Damage in Vivo" was published in the journal Acta Dermato-Venereology on July 24.
"There is no dispute that sunscreen provides important protection against the cancer-causing impact of the sun's ultraviolet rays," said report author Antony Young, a professor at King's College London. "However, what this research shows is that the way sunscreen is applied plays an important role in determining how effective it is."
