Too much sun bathing without proper protection will cause sunburn. Too much sunburn leads to skin damage and premature aging of the skin. Eventually this will lead in turn to serious skin diseases, like skin cancer. But is doesn’t have to be like that. A few simple precautions can save you from the harmful influence of the sun.
Some simple advice to protect yourself from the sun
- stay out of the sun between 10 am to 4 pm (10 h tot 16 h)
- wear protective clothing like long-sleeved garments and wide-brimmed hats
- use an umbrella
- apply sunscreen half an hour before you go out
- wear sunglasses to protect your eyes
My skin is used to the sun
Even if you have a darker skin you should avoid long exposure to the sun around noon. During these hours the sun is at its strongest. Besides sunburn it can give you headaches, it can cause dehydration and eye damage.Look for some shadow if you can.
Take man in their natural state as an example: even if their skin is used to the sun, they will never expose themselves to heavy sunshine if they don’t need to. Ever wondered why desert people always wear clothes from top to toe?
