How To Protect Your Skin This Summer

And its summer time! I love staying in the beach! I love enjoying the summer breeze! I love surfing! I love waves! I love summer!

Are you afraid of the sun? Here are some tips to maintain and protect your skin.

• Apply sunscreen every day, even in the wintertime. Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating.
• When choosing a sunblock, make sure to choose one that has UVA or Broad Spectrum protection, because if it doesn't, then it may only protect you from UVB rays.
• Never, never, NEVER!!!! go into a tanning bed. Really, just don't. Despite what the salon owners may try to tell you, there is NO such thing as a safe tan!! Just last year, tanning beds were officially added to the highest-risk category on the list of top cancer-causers, right up there with cigarettes, mustard gas, and arsenic. Stay away!!
• Buy a daily moisturizer for your face that contains an SPF of at least 15. The skin on your face is more sensitive to sun damage than the rest of your body. 
• Give your scalp, face, and eyes extra protection by wearing a hat and sunglasses.
