Every time you expose your skin to sunlight, your health is getting a cost effective boost. Sunlight provides vitamin D, a vitamin you need to improve your mood and keep your bones strong. It can also lower your blood pressure and help regularise your sleep cycles.

Too much sun, however, can have lasting damage on your skin. The ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun contain invisible radiation that can permanently damage your skin cells. This damage can alter the appearance of your skin, prematurely age your skin, and even lead to skin cancer.

That’s why it’s important to limit your exposure to sunlight to only therapeutic levels. You should find ways to protect your skin from sun damage any time you’ll be exposed for long periods of time.

UV rays aren’t just present on clear, sunny days. UV rays can easily reach your skin on cloudy and cooler days and even reflect off water, cement, snow, and sand. Sunbeds and sun lamps are also sources of harmful UV rays.

How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun Naturally

Wherever possible, stay in a well shaded area if you’re outside. This can be under a tree, awning, sun umbrella, or porch. Any type of shaded area will do!

Your clothing can make a difference, too. While many of us love the feel of sun on our bare skin, especially on beach holidays, you should be careful how much sun worshipping you do. If you’re worried about being too hot, opt for light, airy fabrics like cotton and linen.

How to Protect Your Face from the Sun Naturally

Wearing a brimmed hat can help shade your face from the sun, especially if it’s a wide brimmed hat with a brim all the way around. Not only do they make a great fashion statement, but they are an effective way to protect your face, ears, and back of your neck.

You can protect your eyes, vision, and the sensitive skin around it from UV damage with sunglasses. Look for sunglasses that have both UVA and UVB protection.

Suncream and SPF Cosmetics

In addition to the natural methods mentioned above, the most important step you can take to protect your skin is to use suncream or products containing SPF (sun protection factor). Everyone over the age of 6 months should use a broad spectrum sunscream with an SPF of 15 or higher on any exposed skin before going outside.

Reapplication is important because suncream wears off, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Aim to reapply every 2 hours.

Even if you aren’t on holiday, you need to incorporate SPF into your daily skincare regime  no matter what age you are. There are several options, ranging from lotions, foundations, powders, and concealers containing SPF. You can and should combine these products with a traditional sun cream as well.
