Your Skin should not be stopped by the Sun By Dr. Navnit Haror, Founder & Director of Derma Miracle Clinic

Walking out into the summer sun can be such a refreshing feeling. The warmth on your skin, the sun in your eyes, and the smell of grass in the air. It's hard to believe that anything could ruin such a beautiful day. But the truth is, if you're not careful, the sun can easily take away all that joy. By wearing sunscreen and being aware of how long you're outside, you can protect yourself from harmful UV rays. Your skin should not be stopped by the sun – so make sure to take precautions!

1. Apply sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy outside

Applying sunscreen every day is important, even when it's cloudy outside. Clouds can filter out some of the harmful UV rays from the sun, but they don't block all of them. And those UV rays can still damage your skin, leading to wrinkles, sunspots, and an increased risk for skin cancer. So be sure to apply sunscreen every day, even when it's cloudy. And don't forget to reapply every few hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating. By taking these precautions, you'll help protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun.

2. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating

Sunscreen is an important part of protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays. However, it is only effective if used correctly. In order to get the most out of your sunscreen, it is important to reapply it every two hours, or more often if you are swimming or sweating. This will ensure that your skin is protected throughout the day. Additionally, be sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 in order to ensure adequate protection. By doing these, you can help keep your skin healthy and looking its best.

3. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your skin from the sun

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a known human carcinogen. UV radiation can also cause damage to the eyes and the immune system. While there are many ways to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful effects, one of the most effective is to simply cover-up. Wearing clothing that covers your skin and wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can help to block out UV radiation. In addition, it is important to seek shade whenever possible, especially during the hours when the sun’s rays are strongest.

4. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent sunburn

It is important to stay hydrated when spending time outdoors, especially in hot weather. Drinking plenty of water helps to prevent sunburn by keeping the skin moist and supple. It also helps to flush out toxins that can build up in the body and lead to skin problems. In addition, water aids in the body's natural cooling process, keeping the skin from becoming overheated. As a result, it is essential to drink plenty of water when spending time in the sun. By doing so, you can help to prevent sunburn and keep your skin healthy and happy.

5. Stay in the shade as much as possible during peak hours (10 am - 4 pm)

Staying in the shade during peak hours is the best way to keep your skin healthy. The sun's UV rays can cause damage that leads not only to fine lines and wrinkles but also an increase of age spots on our face!

6. If you do get a sunburn, apply aloe vera gel to help soothe the skin

If you find yourself with a sunburn, aloe vera gel can be an effective way to soothe the skin. The gel is derived from the aloe vera plant, and it contains a number of compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. When applied to the skin, aloe vera gel can help to reduce redness and swelling. Additionally, the gel can also help to replenish lost moisture, making it an ideal treatment for dry, sun-exposed skin. Just be sure to avoid products that contain added fragrances or dyes, as these can further irritate the skin.

Takeaway

As we head into the summer sun, it’s important to remember that our skin should not be stopped by the sun. Make sure you are protecting your skin every day with sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. In addition, wear clothing that will protect your skin and sunglasses to protect your eyes. We hope these tips will help keep your skin safe this summer! Have fun and a sun-safe season!
