How to Convince Someone to Wear Sunscreen: Evidence-Based Strategies

  1. Educate on risks: Skin cancer, photoaging (wrinkles, spots).
  2. Personalize: Share a relatable story of sun damage.
  3. Highlight long-term gains: Youthful skin = self-investment.
  4. Habit-stack: Place sunscreen by toothbrush/in car.
  5. Match preferences: Lightweight, non-greasy, pleasant scent—trial until they like it.
  6. Support consistency: Remind reapplication (q2h, post-swim/sweat); celebrate adherence.
