Preventing Sunburn during Vacation
Do not let a bad case of sunburn spoil your fun in the sun. Make sure you protect your skin from its harmful rays so that you would continue enjoying your vacation with your companions.
Since you would not be able to completely avoid spending time outdoors, limit your activities in daylight between the hours of 10 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. You can enjoy golfing, sunbathing, swimming, and other holiday adventures either in the early morning or late afternoon so that you would not need to expose yourself to too much sun. However, make sure that you would already get some sunbathing done before you get to your destination since it would provide you with a measure of protection. Even if the days are cloudy, you can still get sunburned, so be sure to wear sunscreen whenever you go outside your hotel at all times. Choose a sunscreen or sunblock that can provide your skin with a protection rating of 15 or higher. This means that you would be able to stay under the sign 15 times longer than if you are not wearing any kind of protection at all. Make sure that you would apply the sunblock at least 15 minutes before you go outside and re-apply more of it on your skin every two hours especially if you have gone swimming or if you are perspiring. You should also remember to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from glare as well as some sort of protective covering for your head.
