As the weather gets warmer and we spend more time in the sun, it’s important to prioritize keeping our skin safe from UV damage. Skin Cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States and according to the National Cancer Institute, about 30 percent of women and less than 15 percent of men regularly use sunscreen on both the face and other exposed areas of skin. Dermatologists recommend applying SPF daily as part of your skincare routine, rain or shine. Revision Skincare® offers a line of SPF products that cater to different skin needs. In addition to wearing (and reapplying) sunscreen daily, there are other protective steps we can take when spending time in the sun all day.
● Take cover — Limit your skin exposure and take breaks in the shade, whether it be finding a cool space inside or propping up an umbrella to block the sun.
● Protect your eyes and face — If you’re limited on shade, wearing protective gear can help ease the impact of intense rays from the sun. Opt for sunglasses to protect your eyes from UV rays. Take it one step further by wearing a hat to protect your whole face and serve as another barrier from the sun.
● Stay hydrated — Being in the sun all day can dehydrate your body and your skin. If you plan on spending all day in the sun, be sure to pack plenty of water.
● Consult an expert — When spending long hours in the sun, it’s important to continue to keep a close eye on your skin for any changes. Be sure to check in with your doctor regularly if you spot any signs of new moles forming or changes to existing moles.
