Sunblock and SPF should be applied before going outside.

• A. After Going Outside
• B. Before Going Outside
• C. During Outdoor Time
• D. Not Necessary

Answer: (B)

Applying sunblock before going outside ensures your skin has protection as soon as you’re exposed to sunlight. Sunscreen needs a moment to bind to the skin, so putting it on 15 to 30 minutes before outdoor time lets the protective layer form and be ready right from the start. Use enough to cover all exposed skin and choose a broad‑spectrum SPF to guard against both UVA and UVB rays. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you’re sweating or swimming, and after towel drying. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can cause damage, so regular reapplication and additional protections like a hat and sunglasses are important.
