Want to keep your skin looking young?

Then don’t spend too long out in the sun.

This is particularly relevant if you have fair skin that doesn’t tan but instead burns.  Here are some key tips to care in the sun:-

• Avoid the sun when it is most intense.  That is particularly from approx. 11 am until 3.00 pm.
• Buy a sunscreen that protects from UVA and UVB rays.
• Use a sunscreen with a high protection factor - 20+. 
• Remember to keep applying sunscreen every 2 - 3 hours.  Dont forget your ears and back of your neck.  Always reapply after swimming or sweating.
• Wear a hat or cap, especially if you are thin on top.
• Be aware of the sun’s reflections such as from the water or sand.
