Tip Of The Day!

How To Avoid Sun Damage On Holiday

With some simple, practical steps, you can avoid the perils of sun damage to your skin whilst on holiday.

The key tip is to avoid the midday sun; that is the sun whilst at its peak of strength. During the day between 11 - 3 therefore, always try and stay in the shade - whether you are after a tan or not.

After 3, or before 11, if you go in the sun, ensure that you cover up. That means noe just sunscreen on a naked body, but rather use a T-shirt, a hat, and sunglasses to reduce glare.

Use a high factor sunscreen - at least 15 - and also remember that one application is not enough; rather you need to re-apply every half an hour maximum.

In this way, you can have a great holiday, enjoy the sun, without the risk of skin damage.
