Ways to Protect Your Skin
A person with a sunburn has exposed their skin tissue to dangerous amounts of radiation. As a result, their skin may become heavily damaged and more likely to develop serious problems, such as wrinkles, leathery skin, and even different types of skin cancer. To avoid these problems, a person can try the following skin protection measures:
- Regardless of the weather, sunny or overcast, apply sunscreen
- Use a full spectrum sunscreen
- Sunscreen should be at least SPF 15
- Re-apply after swimming or sweating intensely
- Break up your time in the sun
In addition to using the right sunscreen and being smart about spending a balanced amount of time outdoors, a person should dress correctly too. Sunglasses and hats with full brims can help reduce sun damage to the body.
