Hey everyone, Jeff here from Path 2 Wellness Winnipeg! Summer’s just around the corner, and that means longer days, warmer weather, and more time spent outdoors. While we all love soaking up the sunshine, it’s crucial to remember the importance of protecting your skin from harmful UV rays.
Here at Path 2 Wellness, we’re passionate about helping you achieve optimal health, and that includes keeping your skin healthy and protected. So, let’s dive into some essential sun safety tips:
Sun Protective Clothing:
► Cover up with lightweight, long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats whenever possible.
► Look for clothing with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating. The higher the UPF, the greater the protection.
Seek Shade:
► Avoid the sun’s peak intensity between 10 am and 4 pm.
► Relax under an umbrella or seek shade from trees or structures during these times.
Hydration is Key:
► Staying hydrated helps your body regulate its temperature and keeps your skin healthy. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before, during, and after spending time outdoors.
Sunscreen is Your Best Friend:
► This might seem obvious, but sunscreen is your primary defense against UV rays. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for everyday use.
► Don’t forget about your lips! Apply a lip balm with SPF protection to prevent sunburn and chapping.
► Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if you’re sweating or swimming.
