Make Sure Your Great Day In The Sun Doesn't Turn Into A Miserable Night


It's summer so of course your going to be outside and exposed to the sun. Here are some tips to make sure your glow is golden and not red! 

1.  Don't be fooled by a cloudy day! My daughter got the worst sunburn of her life on a stormy, cloudy, rainy day. There was even thunder and lightning! She wasn't even red...she was purple it was so bad. So, always remember that if it's cloudy or  you spend the day under a tree in the shade...that's not enough.

2. Apply at least a 35 SPF sunblock about 15 before you go out. This gives time for  the lotion to dry and absorb into your skin. If you are going to be getting wet or expect to sweat, make sure you use a water proof sunblock. Re-apply every couple of hour on most common burning points like chest, shoulders, back of neck, & nose. You will still get some color even with sunblock, and by color I mean tan, not fireball red.
