Hot stuff!
Emylou asked:
Looking forward to a day at the park with your kids or how about basking in your backyard or a weekend getaway, with that oh, so lovely sun beating down on you?
Did you know though, that even the slightest exposure to the sun could target fair skin, far worse than people with a slightly darker complexion?
Seek some shade if outdoor activities are unavoidable. If you can’t avoid being in the sun however, then don’t forget to slap on that sunscreen, preferably with a S.P.F. (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 or higher, before you venture outdoors.
Although the act of applying sunblock may seem like a bore, believe me, prevention is far better than cure.
Besides sunscreen, a fashionable large-brimmed hat or baseball cap should do the trick or what about a fancy parasol? And don’t forget those ever-important shades. Your eyes need protection too.
If you forgot your sun protection and ended up burnt or if you slathered it on unevenly and you have a streak of red across some part of your body (how embarrassing!!) you’re paying for it now with reddened skin. Ouch. Although you may not acknowledge it, your skin certainly does!
Sunburn, at times, can cause mild pain and redness, affecting only the outer layer of skin. The thick sap of the aloe vera plant or a soak in a cooling tea bath are excellent home remedies to a soothing effect.
You may not think much of a mild one, but what if you have developed oozy blisters? Still think nothing of it? This type of sunburn is usually more painful and takes longer to heal. In severe cases like this, it’s time to bring in the professionals.
Sunburn is something a great deal of people experience fairly regularly during the summer season. Just because it is commonplace, does not mean that this condition does not require special attention proper care.
Don’t ignore the telltale signs of the sun’s damaging effect on your precious skin. In reality, anyone who spends too much of unprotected time in the sun is a candidate for first or second-degree burns, children included.
So, don’t forget to slather on that sunscreen on all parts of your skin exposed to the sun.
