If you are going to be outdoors, what should you do for skin protection?

Apply a moisturizer with SPF 30 protection
Skip the sunscreen for better tanning
Wear no moisturizer at all
Stay in the shade all day

The correct answer is: Apply a moisturizer with SPF 30 protection

Applying a moisturizer with SPF 30 protection is essential for skin protection when spending time outdoors. This option emphasizes the importance of using broad-spectrum sunscreen to shield the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Using a moisturizer with SPF provides dual benefits: it hydrates the skin while also offering a protective barrier against UV radiation. SPF 30 is a standard level that provides adequate protection for most people during moderate sun exposure, allowing the individual to enjoy outdoor activities while minimizing the potential risks associated with sun exposure. Choosing to skip sunscreen in pursuit of tanning or to abstain from using any moisturizer can lead to compromised skin health. Staying in the shade all day may limit exposure to sun but does not make it a practical option for outdoor activity. It’s important for skilled estheticians to understand and advocate for effective sun protection strategies to maintain skin integrity and health.
