Healthy sun practices to ensure you and your family are safe this summer Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside.
Don’t rub sunscreen in - rapid absorption of lotion leaves the outermost layers of skin with reduced SPF. Instead, dab sunscreen onto sun-sensitive areas first. Wait 60 seconds, then gently reap ply sunscreen to these same areas and also evenly cover the rest of your exposed skin.
Reapply sunscreen every two hours. In intense sun, even if you are not overly physically active, reapply at least every hour.
Cover up with clothing and wear broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Keep your skin moisturised and hydrated – moisturised skin is less likely to burn and will tan faster. Moisturise and nourish your skin with creams, lotions, or oils several hours before (allows the moisturiser to soak in and, if using oil, to reduce the sheen) and also after long sun exposure.
Cool off – if your skin overheats, it can react with a classic heat rash, which can quickly lead to burning. Frequently cool off in the water and reapply sunscreen. Avoid waterproof, sport block, sweat-proof, and baby-block sunscreens if spending long hours in the sun. The petroleum bases in these products can cause the skin to overheat quickly.
Take frequent shade breaks – taking 15 minutes or more per hour is enough time to let your skin cool down and recover. Never expose burned skin to more sun – burned skin will not tan; it will only get worse. Keep burned skin cool. Avoid applying waterproof sunscreen on pink or burned skin as it will overheat.
Surfaces such as sand, snow, concrete and water can reflect up to 85% of UV radiation. Extra precautions should be taken when around these surfaces, even cloud weather.
Keep newborns out of the sun. Sunscreens should be applied on babies only over the age of six months.
Avoid UV tanning beds – they increase the risk of burns and require caution.

Our skin requires several nutrients to supply its cells with rejuvenation and turnover, including proteins, carbohydrates, good fats, vitamins, and minerals. Food and plants, in their whole form, contain several complex compounds with multiple biological actions that prevent us from the harmful effects of UV radiation in addition to having protective effects against free radical damage, inflammation, premature ageing, and cancer. Choose natural sunscreens that contain a combination of extracts from vegetables, fruit and herbs as well as natural sunscreen oils discussed below.
FOOD SOURCES: Aloe vera Renowned for its soothing and cooling effects, the inner juice of Aloe vera and Aloe barbadensis leaves have been found to block UVB rays and moisturises the skin. Aloe contains enzymes that stop sunburns and accelerate collagen production. Drink the juice, or apply the gel or fresh leaf before and after sun exposure.
Green tea Drinking your cup of green tea can be protecting you from UV damage. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants found in green tea that have been shown to externally block UV rays, reduce skin redness, protect against skin cancer, and prevent premature ageing.
Almonds Almonds contain the compounds flavonoids and phenolic acids, which have been shown to block UV rays and
