Staying Young While in the Sun

Everyone desires beautiful skin when they get older; nobody wants to have wrinkles. Protecting your skin must take place from the early stages of life. Younger people don’t think of putting on sunscreen as a way to preserve their skin but as a hassle. It seems ridiculous to have to apply sunscreen for basic outdoor activities. Sunscreen can help preserve younger skin but there are other ways to make your skin glamorous.

Before heading outdoors, always put at least SPF 30 sun block on and wait 20 minutes so that the sunscreen can react with your skin’s oils. This prevents UVB rays from reaching the skin. UVB rays burn and age skin. UV protected sunglasses are also essential. Protecting your eyes will prevent serious eye problems that may surface later in life. The type of clothing worn outside can reduce the sun’s effects on the skin. Long-sleeved shirts and wide-brimmed hats will reduce the amount of the sun’s rays beating down on the body. The time of the day is also important to staying young. In the hours between 10am and 4pm the sun’s rays are the harshest so try to avoid being outside for any lengthy period of time. It is also important to protect your skin in all types of weather. On a cloudy day 80% of the sun’s rays can bleed through the clouds.

Nutrition also keeps the skin glowing. There are a wide range of vitamins and minerals that can help keep your skin beautiful. Antioxidants such as beta carotene, vitamin E, and vitamin C are great at helping keeping healthy skin.

Make sure to protect your skin over summer. You will be looking younger and more radiant everyday!
