SUN TANNING

Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, arms, legs, and any other areas not covered by clothing. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating.

Seek Shade: Limit your time in direct sunlight, especially during peak UV hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). Seek shade under umbrellas, trees, or awnings to reduce exposure and lower your risk of sunburn.

Wear Protective Clothing: Cover up with lightweight, tightly woven clothing, sunglasses with UV protection, and a wide-brimmed hat to shield your skin and eyes from UV radiation.

Gradual Exposure: Start with short periods of sun exposure, gradually increasing your time outdoors to allow your skin to adapt and build up melanin gradually.

Hydrate: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially when spending time in the sun, to prevent dehydration and support skin health.

Avoid Tanning Beds: Avoid using tanning beds or sunlamps, as they emit concentrated UV radiation that can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Monitor Moles: Keep an eye on any existing moles or skin lesions, and consult a dermatologist if you notice any changes in size, shape, color, or texture.

Skin Assessments: Comprehensive evaluations to assess your skin type, sun damage, and risk factors for skin cancer, guiding personalized sun protection recommendations.

Sun Damage Reversal: Advanced treatments, such as laser therapy, chemical peels, and topical treatments, to address sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging caused by UV exposure.

Skin Cancer Screening: Regular screenings and mole checks to detect early signs of skin cancer and provide timely intervention and treatment.

Sun-Safe Skincare: Education on sun-safe skincare practices, including proper sunscreen use, sun protection clothing, and daily skincare routines to maintain healthy, radiant skin.
