How to Avoid Sun Damage

People love getting a bit of a sun. Thus the need for beach bumming, sunbathing and getting sunkissed, or just going outside to absorb some vitamin D.

However, too much sun exposure can go a long way in outweighing the benefits of sun exposure.

A tanned skin is lovely, but the truth is, years of being exposed to sun's UV rays can lead to early age spots and wrinkled skin – and worst of all, skin cancer.

To avoid further damage to your skin, you may want to take note of the following precautions:

1. Use sunscreenSunscreens are known for blocking out the sun's aging rays (UVA) and burning rays (UVB).

2. Moisturize your skin and lipsExposure to sun can dry your skin and lips. Use a lip balm to keep your lips plump, and use moisturizer with SPF for your body

3. Cover upWear a hat or scarf when you're out on an extremely hot summer day.

4. Schedule your walk Watch out for the hours when UV light is strongest; schedule outdoor errands off those times to avoid the risk of strong UV exposure.

5. Install outdoor blinds Installing shutters or outdoor blinds may be ideal to control your amount of sunlight at home.
