Happy Friday everyone! I hope this week has been kind to you and you are enjoying yourselves. Today's topic is on the importance of sunscreen.
I am currently sitting outside embracing all of the lovely rays of warm sunshine. I love the sun. I would lay out all day if I could. However, the sun isn't always kind to us. Even if you have darker skin, it is essential to protect it from UV damage. No one is immune to sun damage, and once that damage starts, it can never be reversed. Sunblock also helps prevent more freckles and sun spots from developing and it will help your skin look and feel younger and more smooth. Who doesn't want soft skin that is radiant, fresh, and protected?
Here are some of my favorite tips for protecting your skin:
1.) Cover up. Whether it is a broad rimmed hat and/or a loose layer over your swimsuit, your skin will thank you. Aim for lighter colors as it doesn't absorb as much sun as black and other darker colors.
2.) Use sunblock that has and SPF of at least 30 or greater and reapply often, especially after swimming, sweating, or if it's been a couple of hours since you last applied
3.) Find a spot to lay out that has at least some shade. You don't need to hide under a blanket, but shading some of your body away from the sun doesn't hurt.
4.) If you are like me and burn easily, one of the best remedies I've found is aloe vera gel. You can get it at stores like Walgreens or CVS. It helps soothe irritated skin and feels very refreshing. I love it.
Well that's it for today. Enjoy the rest of your week and be safe!
XOXO
