Sun Smart

I hope you've all enjoyed my Sun Smart posts and you've been taking my advice. I actually burnt part of my legs quite badly over the weekend, I was far from Sun Smart and I didn't re-apply my sunscreen often enough, and with the wind, I burnt extra quickly!

I thought I'd would share some general tips in my last Sun Smart post!

1. Always wear Sunscreen. Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure and at least every 2 hours. Make sure you use at least SPF15.

2. Cover Up. Wear a wide brimmed hat or any hat will do, cover up those shoulder and any over part that easily burns.

3.Seek Shade. Avoid direct sunlight when the sun is at it's strongest between 11am and 3am.

4. Avoid Tanning Beds. Use fake tan lotions, it's a much healthier way to get a gorgeous glow.

5. Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water when you're out in the sun all day.

6. Wear Sunglasses. Protect your eyes, they're precious and make sure your glasses have complete UV protection.

7.Watch Out for Sand, Snow, Wind & Water. These are going to reflect the sun's rays and increase your chances of burning.
