As we age, our skin
thins, becomes more delicate and less able to block the sun’s damaging
rays.
Some good skin care tips:
1. Drink plenty of
water and fluids to keep skin hydrated.
2. Use a sun shade,
beach umbrella or stay in the shade of a porch, especially between 10am-4pm
which is when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
3. Wear long pants and
long-sleeved shirts to cover skin.
4. SPF 30 is the
preferable strength for sunscreen as it absorbs 97% of harmful UV rays. Apply sunscreen multiple times a day, even if
it is a cloudy day or you are staying indoors.
The harmful UV rays are able to pass through clouds and glass.
Everyone, no matter
the age, should take care of their skin, especially when in the sun.
