Edit Hold Onto Your Hats to Avoid Sun Damage

<p><strong>Hold Onto Your Hats to Avoid Sun Damage</strong></p> <p>Luckily, there are many easy ways to protect yourself against sun damage, beginning with staying in the shade during the hottest periods of the day, from about 11am to 3pm.</p> <p>The sun is most intense during that time and it poses the most risk.</p> <p>You can avoid this period of the day by leaving your picnic or your swim until late afternoon or early evening. Spring and summer afternoons are a wonderful time to be out, when everything is painted in a rosy golden glow!</p> <p>You can also wear clothing that covers your arms and legs and ensure that you use <a title="sun cream" href="/treatment/sunscreen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sun cream</a> on any exposed skin. We recommend one with an SPF of over 30, ideally more.</p> <p>The SPF indicates how long the substance will offer you protection, so the higher the better.</p> <p>Remember, you can still suffer sun damage when you are splashing about in the pool or in the sea, so a bottle of suncream, aftersun lotion and a wide-brimmed sun hat are all essential items. </p>
