Smart Sun Protection Tips for Healthy Skin
Use Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Daily: Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Apply it even on cloudy days, and don’t forget areas like your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet.
Reapply Often: Sunscreen wears off—especially if you’re sweating or swimming. Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or towel drying.
Wear Protective Clothing: Lightweight, long-sleeved shirts, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses help block the sun’s rays. Look for clothing with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) label for added defense.
Seek Shade: The sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to stay in the shade during these hours, especially if you’re spending extended time outdoors.
Be Cautious Around Water and Sand: These surfaces reflect the sun’s rays, increasing your chance of sunburn. Use extra protection when you’re at the beach or poolside.
