Personalized Program Quiz

• Take the personalized program quiz available on Darphin's website. This quiz determines your skin type and the Darphin sun care products that are best for you.

Prepare for the Sun

• Good Housekeeping recommends that you apply sun care products and sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before you head outside. This gives your skin a chance to absorb the "protective ingredients" in the sun care product.

Be Generous

• Coat your face, neck, collarbone and behind the ears with a generous amount of product. Good Housekeeping quotes dermatologist Ava Shamban, who says, "The biggest mistake people make is not putting enough on their faces," and advises devoting at least a teaspoon of that ounce to your face, ears, and neck.

Keep Reapplying

• Reapply product to your face every two hours that you spend out in the sun or whenever your face becomes wet.

Wear Year Round

• Wear the sun care product all year round, not just in the summer. Protecting your skin from UV rays will help your skin appear younger and prolong the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, according to Good Housekeeping.
