How much sunscreen is enough?

When asked how much sunscreen is enough? Dr. White says, "A shot will do."
Read this article from Skin & Allergy News about how much sunscreen you really should be using. . . you might be surprised!
The article states, "Two tablespoons of sunscreen should cover an adult’s skin surface, he said. And an 8-oz bottle of sunscreen contains 16 tablespoons. Therefore, a family of four at the beach should use one bottle of sunscreen every 2 days, assuming they spend 4 hours a day in the sun (based on American Academy of Dermatology recommendations that sunscreen be applied at least every 2 hours).
