UV Awareness Month - Summer Skin Care Tips ☀️
Hey GG! Did you know that July is UV Awareness Month?
As we enter the hotter months of the Summer and are spending a lot of time in the sun, it’s important to remember to protect our skin first.
Longer hours of daylight and hot, dry, or humid weather can affect our skin differently than the colder and darker days of winter. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy the sun all summer long without doing harm to or damaging your skin.
Apply sunscreen often.
Look for sunscreens that offer:
at least SPF 30
broad-spectrum protection
lip protection
2. Exfoliate once or twice a week.
Keep your pores clear of sunscreen and sweat by exfoliating once or twice a week.
3. Stay hydrated.
When you get a sunburn, your body suffers from the outside in. Sunburns can dry up your skin, and getting the appropriate amount of H2O can help you avoid dehydration.
4. Get some shade.
Cover up with breathable clothing
Wear a wide-brimmed hat.
Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and also protect the delicate skin around your eyes.
