Here I am in hot Rio De Janeiro doing an advertising campaign and working hard to keep  
supermodels, clients and crew from frying in the Brazilian sun. 
So, Let's talk sun protection. The same methods apply for men or women. Skin burns,ouch!
Don't ruin your fabulous holiday in pain and looking like a lobster.

First of all, after showering, dry off then apply sunscreen all over your body and face before you go out into the sun. Now you know that every inch has some spf on it.(This helps eliminate those swimsuit and sandal tan lines). Sun protection should then be applied again when you are out on the beach. Remember, sun products can take a while to take effect. If you are thinking of throwing your first layer of protection on 2 hours into sunbathing. I would suggest a t-shirt hat and umbrella because it is probably too late!
Note:Often forgotten areas: ears,scalp/partline, feet/toes,lips and eye lids.

How to choose sunscreen. You will need more than just one.
One high spf for all over body.  Neutrogena Ultra sheer body mist sunblock. Dries clear,not greasy, easy to cover back and even coverage.One for face Shiseido Ultimate protection face cream 55 spf is super sheer no white glowy, greasy face . cont. below...


...Eyes, lips and ears are touch up spots that need constant re-application. A touch up stick is great so your not fiddling around with products for each little spot. I like this stick by Anthony Logistics. You can use it everywhere.
