The sun is great especially for getting your source of vitamin D although during summer our Australian sun can be extremely harmful to us. This is why taking precautions over the summer holidays should be made to decrease the risk of sun damage. In this blog we will be talking about sunscreen and why it should be used!
Why Sunscreen?
Sunscreen is a fantastic way to keep covered by the sun! Studies show that uv rays find it hard to penetrate the skin and cause damage to the areas open to the sun. Sunscreen also stops you from getting burnt and significantly decreases your chances of developing skin cancers whilst being out in the sun having fun!
What Other Ways Protect Me From The Sun?
– Wearing a sun hat (bucket or brimmed hats)
– Wearing ling sleeve rash vests to the beach
– Finding shade outside
– Using tents and umbrellas at the beach
– Avoiding extremely hot days in the daytime
– Wearing Sunglasses
Remember spending time outdoors is great but only if you are doing it responsibly! Keep yourself in check when it comes to being SunSmart and be sure to stay hydrated over the Summer period!
