Bronzed skin is almost a necessity nowadays, but you can overdo it if you are not wearing the right sun block. Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Sunblock comes in a variety of SPF's, which makes finding the right one for your skin type easier. Before you bask in the sun, you need to understand how to use Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer SunBlock or you'll risk the possibility of becoming burned, orange or pasty looking.

Purchase the correct Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock for your skin type. If the sun easily burns your skin, you will need a higher SPF than someone whose skin does not burn as much, such as individuals with darker skin tones.

Shake the product bottle well. This will mix up the particles that may be clumped inside the container.

Apply an ounce of Ultra Sheer Sunblock to your entire body after you've showered and dried off completely.

Apply another thin layer of sunblock on top of the first layer. The overall application should be thick and thorough over your entire body.

Make sure to apply Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock in hard to reach areas, such as your ears, the back of your neck, shoulders, knees, legs and bottom. You may need to enlist the help of a friend or beau to help you apply the product to certain areas.

Allow the sunscreen to dry. Do not go in the sun for at least 30 minutes after you have applied the product to your body.

Reapply the Ultra Sheer Sunblock after swimming or completing any strenuous activities.

If your skin is easily susceptible to sunburns, reapply the sheen several times throughout the day, if you are going to be in the sun for long.

Beware of the expiration date on your Ultra Sheer Sunblock. Expired products may not provide you with the full sun screen protection that you need. Restock your Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock every three months and toss out the old ones.
