  Have Fun

• The great outdoors is an ideal place to enjoy
  the fresh air, exercise or meditate. The sunshine
  is something that can energize the body,
  improving our wellbeing. Staying outdoors and
  getting enough amount of sunshine can increase
  serotonin and vitamin D levels.

3

• Thus, it reduces certain cancers, diabetes and
  boosts the immune system. In fact, the sunshine
  is the best source of vitamin D for newborn
  babies. Going to the beach and taking a
  refreshing plunge can also be a relaxing way to
  recover from a long workweek. It can also be a
  great way to get sun exposure to help improve our
  health.

4

• However, despite the fact that the sunshine
  is essential for our health, it can also be the
  cause of some health problems. This is especially
  true if you are overexposed to the suns UV rays.
  Hence, it is very important that you should be
  responsible enough in protecting your skin from
  the sun whenever you go outside. Putting on
  sunscreen lotion is very important before going
  out in the sun.

5

• Whether you are going for a long walk or a
  short run, its important to apply sunscreen
  lotion to the exposed areas of your skin. Also,
  when you are planning a swimming trip to the
  beach, its important to include a sunscreen
  lotion. Choosing a sunscreen with sun protection
  factor (SPF) of at least 15 will give you some
  protection against the harmful sun rays.

6

• There are also sunscreen lotions that are
  water-resistant. This is ideal especially if you
  are going swimming where your skin gets wet or
  jogging if you sweat a lot. Using enough amount
  of sunscreen on your skin 30 minutes before going
  out is advisable. Reapplying a generous amount of
  it on your skin every 2 hours can give you added
  protection as well.

7

• Its important to remember that putting on
  sunscreen lotion is not only ideal when you are
  taking a break on the beach, it is also advisable
  during days when you are going outdoors.

8

• Even if youre not going to jog or take a dip
  in the sea, its recommended to apply sunscreen
  especially if instances require you to stay
  outdoors most of the time.
• Sunscreen is indeed a great solution to
  protecting yourself from sun damage. However,
  there are tons of brands out there and some of
  them contain chemicals that may be unsafe for
  your skin.

9

• This makes it cumbersome for you to choose
  which brand will be suitable for your particular
  skin type and at the same time effectively
  preventing sunburn. Most sunscreen brands claim
  to be all-natural and clinically tested.
  However, some of them only use these statements
  as a marketing tactic and to lure more consumers.

10

• Thats why it is prudent that before
  purchasing a sunscreen lotion you must read its
  label and the ingredients it contains.

11

• The most common hazardous chemical found in
  sunscreen lotion is the hormone disruptor
  oxybenzone. This chemical agent is often linked
  to skin damage and endocrine imbalances. Another
  harmful ingredient that may possibly be found in
  sunscreen isretinyl palmitate (vitamin A).

12

• Moreover, dont let the higher SPF levels that
  top out at 3050 SPF mislead you in choosing the
  best sunscreen. Take note that brands advertising
  sunscreen products higher than these can be
  misleading. Opt for mineral (zinc-based and
  titanium-based) or natural-based sunscreens.

13

• Contrary to the chemically-formulated
  sunscreens which absorb the UV rays, natural or
  mineral-based effectively reflect sunlight away
  from your skin. Most importantly, dont skip
  reading the label every time you shop for
  sunscreen. Doing this saves you from suffering
  further skin damage.

14

• In addition to sunscreen lotion, there are
  also other essential ways you can protect
  yourself from the hazardous effects of the sun.
  This includes wearing sun protection clothing.
  Make sure that the various pieces of sun
  protection clothing you choose are specially
  designed to protect you from the sun.

15

• You should choose sun protective clothing that
  is weaved tightly enough to block harmful rays.
  This sun protection clothing is specially
  designed to suit various needs. There are choices
  for children and as well as for adults.

16

• Be sure to choose the ones that are
  manufactured by high quality and trusted
  manufacturers. Sun protective clothing might be
  an ideal and intuitive option when it comes to
  protecting yourself from sun damage. However,
  this is not enough. Take note that your head is
  also prone to sun exposure. Over exposure to the
  sun without covering your head can be extremely
  dangerous.

17

• Apart from the sun-protective clothing to
  cover up your body, you will also need a
  protective covering for your head. This is where
  sun protection caps come in handy. Choose caps
  that are made of high-grade materials that can
  effectively protect your head from the harmful UV
  rays. Most of these sun protection caps come in
  various sizes that can fit children and adults
  comfortably.
