Your Guide to Safe Sun Exposure
Spending time in the sun is a summer highlight, but it comes with risks. Sunburn can sneak up, leaving your skin red, sore, and damaged. With the right precautions and care, you can protect your skin and soothe it if the sun gets the better of you. Here’s a simple guide to preventing sunburn and treating it effectively if it happens.
Preventing Sunburn: Stay Safe in the Sun
Use Sunscreen Generously: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to all exposed skin. Reapply every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating. Sunscreen is your first line of defense against harmful UV rays.
Cover Up: Wear lightweight, long-sleeved clothing, hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid the sun during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) when UV rays are strongest. Seek shade whenever possible.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water - electrolytes to keep your skin hydrated and resilient against sun exposure.
What to Do If Your Skin Gets Sunburned?
If your skin does burn, quick action can ease discomfort and support healing:
-Cool the Skin: Take a cool shower or apply a damp cloth to the affected area. This helps reduce the heat and soothes irritation.
-Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating after sun -product to lock in moisture and calm the skin. A great option is Beachkind After Beach, enriched with natural, skin-loving ingredients, it helps restore moisture, reduce redness, and support your skin’s recovery after sun exposure. Its refreshing, non-sticky texture makes it a summer must-have for the whole family.
-Stay Hydrated: Sunburn dehydrates your skin, so drink extra water + electrolytes to aid recovery.
-Avoid Further Damage: Keep the burned area covered and out of the sun until fully healed. Avoid picking at peeling skin or popping blisters, as this can lead to infection.
-Seek Medical Help for Severe Burns: If you experience blisters, swelling, or severe pain, consult a doctor, as these may indicate a second-degree burn.
