1. Try to avoid the
sun when the rays are quite stronger. This is during the times
between 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. Guess that’s why office work was invented,
it helps out a person be tempted to soak under the sun. Also
try to avoid the sun when the UV index is high. When the UV
index is high the exposure and risk of a person becomes greater.
You can check out the UV index on newspapers, TV, radios because
the National Weather Service forecasts the UV index daily.
a. Cloudy skies don’t mean you’re safer from the UV radiation.
Having cloudy skies only guarantees you 20% protection. The
UV radiation you receive will also be more when you are on the
beach or in a snow because of the sunlight’s reflect more.
2. Always
use sunscreens. Try to get the sunscreens with the highest SPF
factors. Also look for other features of the sunscreen. The
higher the number of the SPF the longer amount of time you can
stay under the sun. There are also sunscreens that are water-proofed
to help you when you forget to apply sunscreen after swimming
or if you are a sweaty person.
3. A hat
is a good protection that can help protect your face. There
are hats that can be big enough that is enough to cover the
neck, ears, and scalps.
4. Protect
your eyes from sun damage by wearing sun glasses. Don’t buy
the sunglasses because they’ll make you look cool. Instead buy
sunglasses that can be able to protect you from the UVA and
UVB rays. After all protecting your eyes from sunlight is the
main purpose of sunglasses.
5. If the
suns rays are really too extreme on that day don’t go out shirtless.
Cover yourself up by wearing loosely fitted, light-weight, long-sleeved
shirts, pants, or skirts. Their materials and colors will help
them absorb or reflect the UV rays. Wearing wet clothes should
be avoided because the UV rays can pass easily through them.
6. Try
to be discreet and practice other safety measures when using
tanning machines. There are lots of critiques that have been
saying there are dangerous stuff that could happen to your skin
when a person tans too much under the tanning bed.
7. Try
to examine your skin once in a while after taking a bath. Get
used to the moles and birthmarks you see. Once you see an unusual
growth immediately ask help from an expert to know if it’s something
bad.
