7 Ways To Protect Skin From Sun Damage

Heading 3

Apply Sunscreen Daily

Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen 15 mins before sun exposure. Reapply every 2 hours, especially after sweating or swimming

Wear a Wide-Brim Hat

Hats with a 3-inch brim or more protect your face, scalp, neck, and ears from direct UV rays, areas prone to sunburn

Seek Shade Midday

UV rays are strongest from 10 AM to 4 PM. Stay under umbrellas, trees, or shelters to cut down your exposure

Use UV-Protective Sunglasses

Choose wraparound sunglasses with 100% UVA/UVB protection to prevent sun damage to your eyes and eyelids

Dress in Protective Clothing

Long-sleeved, tightly woven fabrics or clothes with UPF ratings help block harmful rays while keeping you cool

Hydrate Throughout the Day

Drinking water helps your skin stay supple and recover faster from heat and sun exposure

Avoid Peak Sun Hours
