TIP OF THE MOMENT
SUNSMART.
                         Why should we be concerned about protecting our skin from the sun? Doesn't the sun generate Vitamin D for our systems to absorb from our skin? Firstly, protection is necessary and the only prevention of skin damage and skin cancers. The results may not be immediately noticeable, but do you really want to spend your fortune with skin damage treatments in your old age? The best steps you can take to minimise skin damage,is firstly never let your children suffer sunburn: wear loose fitting, but UV protecting clothes; stay in shade; apply sunscreen to bare or exposed skin; head gear, that is a hat, wide brim or flaps,please. Sunglasses are also essential. Arificial tans are no protection - use the same protective measures as above. There is a correct way to apply sunscreen preparations - follow the directions on the packaging. Apply fifteen minutes before sunbathing, repeat fifteen minutes later to make sure that you have covered all areas and then every two hours and after swimming and towel-drying.Note also that you should apply the sunscreen but not rub it into the skin, because that is really rubbing it off the skin. Remember too the danger times: 10a.m. to 4 p.m. Protection is not provided by clouds, so protect your skin every day. Note also that some medicines may make your skin more sensitive to UV rays - these are usually distinguished with a warning on the label.
Now to our Vitamin D requirements: A few minutes exposure to the sun is all that is generally required to supply our vitamin D needs and this is usually achieved through our normal everyday activities. It is best to get this outside the danger times, see above.
