It is summer and it won't be correct to stop you from
lazing around on the beach or the pool. The outdoors do hold a special
attraction for us at this time. But, do remember to be careful! It is in
your best interest to follow certain guidelines and tips while out in
the sun.
-
Do not try to get the perfect tan in a day. It is virtually
impossible to do so. Rather, it will just burn your skin. So, try and
cover up at least with a cotton cloth. Don't worry. Eventually, you
will get a tan.
-
Fair-skinned or those with a sensitive skin should not
expose themselves to too much of sun in a single session. It will
take time to get used to it. So, do not do it for more than 10-15
minutes if it is for the first time that you are exposing your body to
the sun. Later on, as your body gets used to it, you can manage up to
3-4 hours out in the sun.
-
Try and avoid the sun between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as it is at
its harshest at this time.
-
Do apply loads of sunscreen and sun-block lotions. And keep
reapplying it every few hours. This is good for children as well for
those who may not tan or burn easily but still may require a good
application of sunscreen. It seems that the ancient practice of
applying olive oil before sunning oneself is unwanted if one practices
intelligent sunning.
-
Also, if you are out in the sun for too long it is advisable to add
fish and olive oil to your diet. They seem to make your body more
capable of handling the harsh rays of the sun.
