When it comes to training and sunblock, you can't be stingy with it. So here are YS' essentials, the how-to to applying sunblock.
1) What - Anything above SPF30 is good enough. Since you are gonna get wet. Water-resistant is a must. Sweat-resistant is a bonus. A combination of all these, you might wanna go for the Coppertone Sports Sunblock.
2) How much - application layer has to be at least 1mm thick. Or according to angeline, use at least 1 shot glass full of it.
3) Where - technically it's supposed to go on every part of your body. Even under the clothes, coz UV will penetrate it. But at this rate, you are gonna go broke. So make do with the exposed areas can ald. But if you wanna splurge, you can even get sunblock for the lips and hair, yes there are such things.
4) When - this is important. Half an hour before your activity. Coz it needs to set and get into your skin for it to really work. If you do it 5mins before warm-up starts, likely you are gonna look smoky white at the end of warm-ups, so if you don't wanna look unglam, half and hour's the best.
5) Result - the whole purpose of applying sunblock is so you don't burn really badly, and get protected from the sun's harmful UV rays. Which means you will surely get tan no matter what, just that most of the time, it wouldn't be a tan gone wrong. So if you are looking to go out in the sun and still remain fair and original, you might as well stay locked up in a dark room with no windows. Coz it ain't gonna happen.
