At CHN Health Care Group, we prioritize your well-being, and that includes protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. That’s why we’re raising awareness for National Sunscreen Day on May 27th!
Why is Sunscreen Important?
Sun exposure, even on cloudy days, can lead to:
- Sunburn: Painful and damaging to your skin.
- Premature aging: Wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of elasticity.
- Increased risk of skin cancer: The most common form of cancer in the United States.
Sunscreen is an essential tool for safeguarding your skin and reducing these risks.
Sunscreen Savvy with CHN Health Care Group
Here are some key tips for sun protection:
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, the primary cause of sunburn. Broad-spectrum protection shields against UVA rays, which penetrate deeper and contribute to premature aging and skin cancer.
- Apply sunscreen generously and evenly to all exposed skin 15 minutes before sun exposure. Don’t forget areas like your ears, lips, neck, and the tops of your feet.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if sweating or swimming.
- Seek shade, especially during peak sun hours (10 am to 4 pm).
- Wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, for additional defense.
