- Cover up: One of the best ways to protect our skin from the sun's rays is to cover up and wear sunscreen. During the sun rays most intense hours between 10 a.m and 4p.m, it has also been advised to stay in doors but if you have to go out make sure you cover up and wear sunscreen. The Skin Cancer Foundation says that wearing hats and clothing made of dark,tightly woven materials absorb ultraviolet rays better than cotton fabrics and dry fabrics offer better protection than wet ones.
- Screen it: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Be sure to spread it on thick enough: Applying only a thin coating of a sunscreen can reduce the effectiveness of the product by as much as 50 percent. Waterproof sunscreen is best if you'll be swimming. It is also advisable to apply it 20 to 30 minutes before exposure to allow your skin to absorb it and continue reapplying every two hours if sweating or getting wet and if you have fair skin, you can apply before going to bed to aid better absorption into the skin.
I hope these tips helps? I will do another post on affordable skin care remedies that will not break the bank or wallet very soon.
