How to Avoid Sunburn
Have you ever experienced sunburn?
It’s not a good thing to have sunburn, as it can cause serious skin damage, and even cancer. It’s no secret that the sun causes serious harm to the skin, and even worse, helps aid wrinkles in their development. Wrinkles may not show for 20 or more years, but when they do, they are not easy to reduce in appearance.
The only way to REALLY avoid sunburn is to avoid the sun. However, nobody has any ambition to do such a thing. People from the north really enjoy going outside after a long, cold winter. It’s just human nature to crave the sun and get a sun-kissed tan.
Here are some tips that can help you avoid getting sunburn:
1. Cover your body with the best sunscreen you can find. If you are looking to prevent wrinkles, you need to use a sunblock with an spf of 25 or higher. Using a therapeutic sunblock not only prevents sunburn and wrinkles, but also adds moisture to y0ur skin. In other words, it’s a basic skin care product as well as a sunblock.
2. Wear protective clothing. Using sun glasses will block the sun’s harmful rays and keep crows feet from forming, as well as prevent sunburn around the eyes. If you have ever looked like a raccoon after sun tanning, you know what I’m talking about. Another great strategy is to wear a cap. You can wear a sombrero style cap or a baseball cap. Either way, you are creating shade for your face and preventing sun damage to your face.
Even Celebs like Kim Kardashian get sunburn on occasion!
3. Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is a key component of a basic skin care routine, and this is also important if you want to avoid sunburn. Drink as much water as humanly possible when you are exposed to the sun. A good minimum to strive for is one gallon of water, but certainly don’t stop there.
4. Avoid peak hours of the sun. The sun is LETHAL between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
5. Re-apply sunblock throughout the day. Once per day is not enough. Re-apply the sunblock throughout the day for maximum protection from the sun.
Remember to always heed to the above advice. It doesn’t matter if you are going for a quick two minute walk, or spending a day in the sun – these tips should be followed any time you are exposed to any amount of sunlight.
