Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner here in Cincinnati.   Most of us try to apply sunscreen while on vacation, when it is really hot outside, and when we are staying outdoors for long periods of time, but many of us neglect to apply sunscreen daily which is what is recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.  Make sure to purchase a high quality sunscreen with at least an SPF 15 for daily use on the face and other areas that may be exposed to the sun.  It can also be easy to overlook the obvious.  That’s why many people forget to put sunscreen on the back of their hands, behind your ears, and the top of your feet if wearing sandals or open toe shoes.  As a rule of thumb when covering large areas of the body, adults should slather on at least an ounce of sunscreen (about two tablespoons).
