Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause damage to the skin, including dryness, dark spots, and wrinkles, and it increases the risk of skin cancer, the most common type worldwide, according to the American Cancer Society.
To protect your skin at the beach, it is recommended to use sunscreen that is "broad-spectrum," as indicated on the label, with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
According to Temple Health, wearing a hat with a brim of more than 5 cm can also help protect the facial skin.
Wearing sunglasses is important to protect the eyes and the delicate skin around them, ensuring they provide UV protection.
Between 10 AM and 4 PM, the sun's rays are strongest, so it is crucial to take protective measures and reduce sun exposure during this period.
Avoiding prolonged sun exposure without seeking shade is advised, as well as reapplying sunscreen every two hours or as directed on the product label.
Staying hydrated by drinking water is also essential for maintaining skin moisture in hot weather.
