That amounts to about a teaspoon per exposed body part. Not applying enough makes the sunscreen less effective, turning an SPF 30 into more of an SPF 15.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;***Not applying it soon enough:&lt;/b&gt; For sunscreen to be properly absorbed into the skin, it should be applied at least 30 minutes before going outside, Skotnicki says. Once outside, it should be reapplied every two hours.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;***Not buying broadband protection:&lt;/b&gt; The SPF, or sun protection factor, tells you how a sunscreen protects from UVB rays. “The SPF doesn’t tell you anything about UVA protection, so you have to look for broadband,” Skotnicki says. “You want UVA protection as well as UVB.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;***Assuming that makeup and moisturizers with built-in sunscreens have you covered:&lt;/b&gt; These products are generally not applied heavily enough to provide real sun protection. They’re also rarely reapplied.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;***Using the wrong formulation:&lt;/b&gt; Titanium- or zinc-based sunscreens (physical block sunscreen) are best for kids, particularly toddlers, to avoid the chemicals of regular sunscreens. Spray sunscreens are best for hairy men.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://denislaing.com/post/510923823</link><guid>http://denislaing.com/post/510923823</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Apr 2010 10:31:00 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l0bi33aXIL1qz549eo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://denislaing.com/post/494001142</link><guid>http://denislaing.com/post/494001142</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Apr 2010 14:25:50 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Got my iPad this morning in Seattle</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.twitpic.com/1cxyr3"&gt;Got my iPad this morning in Seattle&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;I got it at the University Village Apple Store near the University of Washington.
