Here’s how to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun’s radiation

Summer is here, and many people are spending long days outdoors—whether at the cottage, at festivals, hiking, or at the beach. It’s important to remember to protect our largest organ: our skin.

Don’t forget sunscreen! It’s like a little magic potion that shields your skin from the sun’s burning rays. Choose a sunscreen with a high SPF and apply it generously to your entire body (including your ears) before sun exposure. Be sure to reapply regularly so the protection doesn’t wear off during your fun. Some of us are genetically more prone to burning, and instead of a tan, we just turn red. The aging of the skin due to UV radiation accumulates over time, so by protecting your skin, you’re also keeping it youthful.

Don’t forget UV protection in your sunglasses! Sunglasses should not just be a fashion accessory—they should provide UV protection. Sunglasses protect your eyes from harmful rays and always look good. Double protection for the sensitive skin around the eyes, which is prone to aging!

Wear a hat. Not just any hat, but one that shades your face and protects your delicate scalp from the sun’s heat. Especially the parting in your hair is prone to sunburn. Your hair can also suffer from UV damage.

Avoid the sun’s strongest rays at midday. Finally, but importantly, time your sun exposure wisely. Avoid the sun’s strongest rays around midday, when radiation is at its most intense. Opt for shaded areas or wear lightweight, protective clothing that shields your skin. This way, you can enjoy the sun wisely while keeping your skin youthful and healthy for longer. The UV index is easy to track through weather services, and you should protect yourself from UV radiation when the index is three. Fair-skinned individuals can burn even at an index of two.

Those are the keys to protecting yourself from the sun this summer. Remember sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and making wise choices in the sun. That way, you can enjoy summer without worrying about harmful effects, and take care of your skin.
