Dreaming
about laying back on the sun lounger, sand between your toes and
cocktail in hand. The sun's rays feel good right? But they're no friend
to your skin.
Though you won't see it right away, they give you wrinkles and age spots, and they're the top cause of skin cancer!
Overexposure
to UV rays from the sun or sunbeds is the number one cause of
developing skin cancer. You need to make sure you are doing everything
that you can to protect yourselves so that you can enjoy your time in
the sun. With the approach of Sun Awareness Week, we thought it would be
the perfect time to share with you some of our top tips for staying
safe in the sun this summer.
1. Seek shade
From 11am to 3pm
the sun is at its strongest. During this period it is recommended for
you to stay out of the sun as you are more at risk of burning or
developing heatstroke. If you are having lunch in your garden or at the
sea-side you may seek shade under a parasol to have maximum protection.
2. Stay hydrated
Spending
too much time in the sun without drinking water will get you
chronically dehydrated. It is recommended to reduce the consumption of
caffeinated drinks or alcoholic beverages during hot days, as this will
tend to make you even more dehydrated. You should drink at least eight
glasses of water every day and even more on hot days to stay hydrated.
Dehydrated skin is more prone to sun damage, so drink plenty of water!
3. Wear sunscreen
When
you are exposed to the sun, always make sure that you are wearing a
sunscreen that is right for you. It is important to know which sunscreen
is suitable for you skin type and blocks both ultraviolet A and
ultraviolet B radiation. Before applying your sunscreen, always check
its expiry date. It should usually last for about 12 months from
opening, moreover you can also check the label on the product. Always
apply liberally and remember to reapply after swimming even if it says
it is a water resistant sunscreen. Remember also that UV rays bounce off
sand, snow, concrete, and water.
4. Clothing
Cover up with a
hat that shades your face, neck and ears and a good pair of sunglasses.
When deciding about which fabric to wear in summer choose cotton to
absorb excess sweating or close-weave fabrics which give the best
protection. Skin that's not usually in the sun is most likely to burn.
So take extra care with your back, shoulders and tummy.
5. Self-tan
Instead of exposing yourself to potentially harmful UV rays, use a self-tan to achieve that healthy brown glow you're desiring.
Now
that the countdown is on to summer and you will be spending more time
outdoors start practising these sun safe tips, in order to guarantee an
enjoyable holiday and summer in the sun!
