Misconception #7. SPF is all that matters.
Fact: The SPF number on sunscreens only reflects the product’s screening ability for UVB rays. Make sure your sunscreen covers both UVB and UVA rays. While UVB rays cause sunburn; UVA rays cause more long-term effects such as premature skin aging.
Misconception #6. Apply sunscreen just before you go out.
Fact: Sunscreen should be applied 20-30 minutes BEFORE you go out. It doesn’t work immediately.
Misconception #5. I should replace my sunscreen every summer.
Fact: Unless indicated by an expiration date, the FDA requires that all sunscreens be stable and at their original strength for at least three years.

It is very difficult to establish what to see first when traveling in America. The place is so vast that it would be practically impossible to visit everything that the magnificent country has to offer.
In spite of the fact it’s expensive to fly and lodge there, Hawaii ranks as no. 1 in honeymoon popularity. Stunning beaches and hidden inlets; world-class hotels; fresh, inventive cuisine; water sports in abundance; extraordinary natural beauty; and perfect weather make this an ideal vacation spot year after year.
