????? Yourself from the Sun: Steps to Safe Sun Exposure
Spending long summer days at the beach or in sun-exposed activities, whether active or relaxed, doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your safety. And no, we're not referring to strong ocean currents or dangerous ocean wildlife. We're talking about the sun.
After all, the Skin Cancer Foundation attributes approximately 90% of skin aging to sun exposure, and claims that every sunburn can increase a person's risk of developing skin cancer. In turn, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes the cumulative effect of the damage the sun's rays cause throughout our lives.
In other words, the sun's ultraviolet rays are not just anything.
So take it up a notch this year and supplement your usual sunscreen with beachwear specially designed to protect you from UV rays. From hats, sarongs and swimsuits to long garments that show less skin, and all with sun protection factor +50 or higher.

Measures for safe exposure
The sun can be beneficial to our health, as it is a natural source of vitamin D and can improve our mood. However, excessive and unprotected exposure to the sun can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer. Here are some important steps you can take to protect yourself from the sun and enjoy its benefits safely:
1. Use sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30 before going out in the sun. Be sure to cover all exposed areas of skin, including the face, neck, ears, arms and legs. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
2. Avoid direct exposure at peak hours: The sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If possible, avoid direct sun exposure during these hours and seek shade when necessary.
3. Wear protective clothing: Opt for light-colored, densely woven clothing that covers most of your skin. Also, consider wearing wide-brimmed hats to protect your face, neck and ears, and sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays.
4. Protect yourself on cloudy days: The sun's UV rays can penetrate clouds, so don't rely on cloudy days. Continue to use sunscreen and other sun protection measures even when you don't see the sun shining.
5. Avoid tanning beds: Tanning beds emit artificial UV rays and can cause skin damage similar to excessive sun exposure. Opt for safe self-tanning products if you want a sunless tan.
6. Hydration: Keep your skin well hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day. Adequate hydration helps maintain healthy skin and reduce the risk of damage from sun exposure.
7. Special attention to children: Children are especially sensitive to the sun. Protect their skin with appropriate clothing, hats and applying sunscreen regularly. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight during peak hours.
8. Check your skin regularly: Familiarize yourself with your skin and check for any changes in moles or spots. Consult a dermatologist if you notice suspicious changes, such as an increase in size, irregular borders or color changes.
9. Don't forget your lips and ears: These areas are also prone to sunburn. Use lip balms with sunscreen and be sure to cover your ears with hats or clothing.
10. Practice common sense: Whenever possible, seek shade, especially during outdoor activities. Don't overexpose yourself to the sun and take steps to protect yourself, even on cool or windy days.
Taking steps to protect yourself from the sun not only prevents premature skin aging, but is also essential to reduce the risk of skin cancer and other health problems related to sun exposure. Enjoy the sun safely and adopt healthy habits to take care of your skin and overall well-being.
Remember that these tips are only general guidelines and it is always advisable to consult a physician or dermatologist if you have specific concerns about your skin or health in relation to sun exposure. Take care of your skin and enjoy the sun responsibly!
