How to use a sunscreen. Advice from Dermatest Australia (leading authority and testing agency)
It is essential to use sunscreen correctly to achieve protection.
• Apply sunscreen liberally to all sun-exposed areas so that it forms a film when initially applied. Most people do not use enough. It takes at least six teaspoons of lotion to cover the sun-exposed areas of the body of one average adult person.
• It takes 20–30 minutes for sunscreen to be absorbed by the skin and it can easily be rubbed off, so apply it at least half an hour before going out in the sun.
• Reapply after half an hour so that the ‘mountains’, as well as the ‘valleys’, are protected (imagine you are painting a wall – two coats of paint provide a more even coverage than one).
• Re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours if staying out in the sun for more than an hour during the day.
• Re-apply immediately after swimming, excessive sweating, or if rubbed off by clothing or towelling, even if the product claims to be “water resistant”.
• Insect repellents reduce the sunscreen's SPF so when using together, use a sunscreen with a higher SPF and re-apply more often.

Keep in mind that while crucial, sunscreen alone is not enough. Seek the shade whenever possible, wear sun-safe clothing, a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses, for a complete sun protection strategy.

Social Partnership

Skin confidence is only one form of confidence. Our mission at Emma Lewisham is to also build the confidence of girls and women through equal education and opportunities. Confidence in a woman has a ripple effect in the way they live their lives and on their families and communities.

The way we deliver confidence is through support, education and developing skincare for women that genuinely solves skin issues.

That’s one reason we’re proud supporters of the Malala Fund. Founded in 2013, Malala Fund champions every girl’s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education. We also donate monthly to the Girl Effect to support this mission.

The Malala Fund breaks down the barriers preventing more than 130 million girls around the world from going to school, often due to poverty, war and discrimination. They’re working for a world where every girl can learn and lead. Threats to girl’s education differ between countries and communities, so they use local educators and activists who understand local challenges and are best placed to identify, innovate and advocate for policy and programmatic solutions.

We are also looking for a local charity that aligns with our values of empowering females and ethnic minorities.
