Its been said many times and more others proven that to go in the sun without pretection can cause you some serious skin damage.
The UV rays can harm your skin in just minutes even when you can't see, but you'll get to feel it later. Thats why here are some tips:
·        Try to put on sunscreen before you go outside to get full protection. And remember to reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are in water.
·        Always use a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher. The higher the SPF number, the higher the protection.
·        Put a thicker layer of sunscreen on the most exposed body parts: arms, legs, neck, back and face.
·        Protect your lips with sunscreen lip balm.
·        Avoid using sunscreen on babies younger than six months—use hats, clothing and shade for protection.
·        Think about using cosmetics that contain sunscreen. Even these should be at least SPF 15.
·        Choose a broad spectrum of products that guard against the sun's ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.
Other ways to protect yourself include:
·        Clothing: Shirts and pants made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection.
·        Hats: To get the most protection, wear a hat with a brim that shades the face, ears and back of your neck.
·        Sunglasses: They protect your eyes from UVA and UVB rays and lower cataract risks.
·        Shade: Get under an umbrella, tree or anywhere else with shade.

Getting sunburned or tanned could be a red flag about your skin's health. When you're in the sun, make sure to slather on some sunscreen and reapply after being out for more than two hours to keep beauty—and your health—skin deep.
