Proper Application of the Natural Sunscreens: It
is important to recognize that the use of a natural mineral for the
purposes of screening UV rays is that the minerals reflect the rays, not
allowing for penetration of the skin by the harmful rays. That
being said, the application of a lotion containing natural minerals
designed to be used to reflect the UV rays, is important. Be aware that it is not necessary to rub the lotion “in” to the skin. On the contrary, your intent is to “wipe” it onto the skin in a smooth manner. Pretend as if your hand were a paint brush and gently wipe the lotion on the areas to be protected. No more than 3 to 4 wipes is needed. You
will find that the areas to be protected are covered evenly, allowing
the sunscreen minerals to lie on the skin to protect and the
moisturizing ingredients, designed to hydrate the skin will absorb. In
this environment, you wish to treat your skin gently, as it is in a
format that it is not used to on a normal basis, that being in the sun
for lengthy periods. There may be
an initial whitish hue on the skin upon the application, but it will
dissipate quickly if you use the wiping method mentioned. There may be a line or two that you gently wipe after the initial 5 minutes from applying. Our suggestion is to wipe the hands clean with a towel, cloth, or napkin after the application process. Re-application should be done every hour to hour and a half.
SPF LEVELS:
SPF4: People with dark tans or darker complexions typically use the Sol Guard SPF4 Sunscreen and/or Lotion. The amount of protection provided by our SPF4 sun screen is at a minimum of approximately 25%, allowing you to sun tan and still protect your skin from of the sun’s most harmful UVB and UVA rays.
SPF8: Sol Guard SPF 8 screens approximately 50% of the UVB and UVA rays, protecting the skin from the sun's most harmful rays, yet allowing some sun exposure to the skin.
SPF15: SPF 15 gives you Maximum Sun Protection together with nutritional value for your skin, a combination seldom found.
SPF25: Sol Guard SPF 25 gives you maximum protection. This product will not come off in the water, and therefore, divers, snorkelers and water enthusiast will have positive results from its use.
NOTE REGARDING THE SPF LEVELS: The maximum sunscreen contains 9% Titanium Dioxide and 3.5% Transparent Zinc Oxide. As the SPF number goes down, so does the amount of the natural minerals, Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, thus reducing the screen abilities.
