From barbeques to beach trips, we all want to be out in the summer sun, soaking up those rays. However, when we step outside without the proper protection, we are subjecting our skin to the full-force of harmful ultraviolet light. Whether you’re going to get a tan or just making a quick trip out, July’s UV Safety Awareness Month is a reminder to wear sunscreen every day. While making sure we cover any exposed skin with clothes or sunscreen is important, the skin on our face is some of thinnest on our bodies and needs extra care. The skin on our lips and eyelids is even thinner still, and our eyes need their own additional protection to boot (but at least sunglasses make a stylish summer statement!). If you’re going out to tan, you can still be bronze while protecting your skin. Of course, if a quick sun-kissed golden glow is what you’re after, there are always at-home tanning options that are as safe as they are effective. And, of course, if you do end up a little more burnt than you anticipated, we have soothing after-sun care to heal and relieve itching, dryness, flaking, and all your sunburnt symptoms. Wear a hat, avoid peak UV intensity, drink plenty of water, and enjoy your July safely with all of us at eCosmetics! |
