It’s easy to accumulate sun damage over time, especially if you forget to apply sunscreen each time before going out in the sun. But prolonged sun exposure can lead to premature aging \u2014 who needs that? Here are eight expert tips for protecting your skin against the sun:<\/p>\n
The cornerstone of any proper skincare routine is sun protection! Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, and apply it liberally to reap the full benefits any time you go outside (even when it’s not sunny!). Pro tip: Try a sunscreen that performs double duty! This\u00a0sun protector<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0LaserAway Beauty<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has both hydrating and skin tone-evening benefits, basically serving as a BB cream.<\/p>\n If you have sensitive skin, you should choose baby sunscreens that use physical blockers, such as zinc oxide, instead of chemical ones, which can be irritating.<\/p>\n While spray sunscreens might seem super convenient, most derms agree that they can be risky because people don\u2019t apply them properly. To properly apply spray sunscreens, hold the can an inch away from your skin, and then spray section-by-section until your skin glistens. Finally, blend it all in using your hands.<\/p>\n You should toss sunscreen into all of your bags so you’ll always have protection on hand. Be sure to reapply sunblock every two hours. Sunscreen sticks won’t spill, and brush-on mineral powder is great for midday touch-ups over makeup.<\/p>\n Wear sun-protective clothing whenever you are outside to protect your skin thoroughly from UVA and UVB rays. Many shirts on the market have an ultraviolet protective factor of 50, meaning they block nearly 98 percent of UV rays.<\/p>\n If you’re planning on long periods of sun exposure, wear a wide-brimmed hat and large sunglasses. This goes for the car, too! Whether you’re in the driver’s seat or sitting shotgun, a sunshade can help to alleviate the cumulative sun damage we’re exposed to every time we’re stuck in traffic.<\/p>\n The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it’s best to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. If you need to be outside, try to stay in the shade as much as possible. Parks and beaches often have shaded areas, and carrying a portable umbrella can provide instant protection wherever you go.<\/p>\n Besides clothing and hats, consider UV-protective accessories such as gloves and sleeves, especially if you spend a lot of time driving or participating in outdoor activities. These accessories can be particularly helpful for protecting areas like the hands and arms, which are often exposed and can easily accumulate sun damage over time.<\/p>\n Staying hydrated is essential for overall skin health. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and more resilient to sun exposure. Eating a diet rich in antioxidants, like fruits and vegetables, can also help to protect your skin from the inside out by neutralizing free radicals caused by UV rays.<\/p>\n No matter the weather\u2014rain or shine\u2014you should always protect your skin by applying sunscreen to all exposed areas. Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours. This will help prevent premature aging and skin cancer.<\/p>\n For sun-distressed skin, consider a visit to\u00a0LaserAway<\/span><\/a>, the nation\u2019s leading aesthetic dermatological provider.
