5 Effortless Ways to Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage:
- Don't forget your eyes! An easy fix? Wear a stylish pair of shades or apply a sun-protection eye cream about 30 mins. before exposure. This will prevent sun spots, lines/wrinkles, and damage to your eyes & the skin surround them.
- Protect your ears, scalp, & head from sun damage by wearing a hat! Go for a wide-brimmed hat that covers your face, ears, and neck if possible, preventing possible sun damage, skin cancer, and discoloration.
- Want to prevent your hair color from fading due to sun exposure and stop sun damage to your hair as well? Try a sun-protection hair spray or oil: One of my fav's: Sun Bum's Beach Formula Shine-On for around $20 provides UV-protection, shine, and prevents color-fading!
- Your feet shouldn't be forgotten either! The fix? Apply a water-resistant sun-protection product to the feet at least 30 mins. prior to exposure so that it will stay put- even through splashing & sweat!. Be sure to re-apply every 1-2 hrs. if ongoing exposure to water as well.
- Watch out for certain drugs that can cause photosensitivity such as: tetracycline, diuretics, and some herbal compounds like St. John's Wort. If you have questions about a particular ingredient or drug, speak with a medical professional or pharmacist.
