Safe Sun Tips
Late spring and summer are upon us! The sun is coming out and our winter skin might not be ready. Girl Meets Glow is releasing the Organic Calendula Body Oil which has wonderful skin healing and protecting properties.
Sun bathing is a great way to get your Vitamin D and so many other health benefits, but it must be done with a little bit of caution and care.
Here are a few tips for practicing safe sun exposure:
- Start getting some sun in the spring when the sun is not as strong.
- Spend a few minutes in the sun each day (5-10 to start), preferable sometime before noon.
- This exposure will build up melanin production in your skin which will protect you from burns as the sun becomes stronger in the summer months.
- Listen to your body. If you are feeling hot, or your skin is becoming flushed, it’s time to go inside for the day or find some shade.
I always recommend that you do your own further research! There is so much information available on this topic. This only scratches the surface.
