Planning for warm weather vacations involves more than booking fights and hotels and packing your suitcase full of swimsuits – protecting your skin also deserves some proactive attention. The FDA recommends using sunscreens with broad spectrum SPF values of 15 or higher. They also suggest limiting time spent in the sun, but that becomes a challenge because your vacation is probably planned around some serious beach time.
Not to put a damper on your ray-catching plans, but too much of the sun’s UV rays can increase the risk of skin cancer and cause sunburn and early skin aging. Since we don’t want that… one of the most important actions you can take is to use a sunscreen labeled “broad spectrum” and be sure the SPF value is 15 or higher.
There are multiple brands to choose from, but right now we’re loving Sun Bum Sunscreens. Tested, approved and recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation, you can be assured you’re getting the best in skincare.
