Tips to have more fun in the sun
Safety first! With a bit of planning, you can enjoy all summer has to offer without the risks that can come with the season.
Summer is prime outdoor time. But enjoying the sunshine does require some planning. You know to stay hydrated and wear sunblock, but here are some lesser-known ways to protect yourself this season.
Wear color-changing SPF stickers
Sunscreen is a must, but it’s easy to forget to reapply. Luckily, these handy stickers change color when UV exposure is high, helping you stay protected all day long. You can find them in the sunscreen aisle.
Beat bugs with wipes, not sprays
Forget sticky sprays and lotions. DEET wipes offer a mess-free and convenient way to keep bugs at bay while you’re on the go. Carry them with you and swipe them on before a hike, picnic, or outdoor gathering.
Stay ahead of medication side effects
Many medications can interact with sun exposure or heat. For example, some medications can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, leading to quicker burns. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if your prescriptions require any special precautions.
