Sun Exposure Safety Tips

Staying indoors is the best choice in summer but, the workaholic life or the summer enjoyment does not let us be under shade all the time. But, we can’t it feels like going into an oven. So, there are some things we must take care of before stepping out or after stepping into the sunlight.

  • • Skin Care : It starts with applying sunscreen on the body. Use a good sunscreen with a good number of SPF that suits your skin as well. Do not leave the parts that are likely to be exposed to the sun. That means, even your neck and ears got to be applied with sunscreen. Secondly, to avoid sudden temperature changes on the skin, leave before it’s too hot and take time to cool down after coming from outside. Avoid heavy makeup and sensitive medicines.

  • • Clothing and Accessories: To protect your eyes, cover them with dark sunglasses. Wear a complete head covering hat which gives shade to the neck too. In summer, light-colored natural fabric clothes are the best to absorb less heat.

  • • Not a Long Exposure: Even if you have to go out, try to get shade and get cool every 15 to 30 minutes. The finest choice will be to avoid the sun between 10 am to 3 pm. If it’s not possible then seeking a covered place can work.

  • • Carry These Every Time: As always, there are some must-haves when we go to the sun i.e. an umbrella and a water bottle for hydration.
