Suncare Tips for Families
Ready for family fun activities? Then these tips will work for you at the tennis court, volleyball on the sand, picnics planned to please active people at home or farther afield. Does your plan take you whale-watching, on nature tours up-island, scenic drives or local museums? We got you covered!
- Choose and apply a quality sun protector. Read about Moondust’s Skin Protector Plus here to understand why it is suitable for all family members age 3 and older. SPP is especially assuring to any family member who is recovering from skin cancer or concerned because skin cancer is known in the family.
- Apply your sun protection before going out into the sun and reapply after swimming or a reasonable amount of time and activity, especially if you are working up a sweat!
- Seek shade for respite from direct sunshine. Encourage children to seek shade as they can get so involved in play and fun, they may just become oblivious to the heat and strong sunshine
Be especially aware during peak sun hours (10 AM – 4 PM).
- Hydrate. Drink plenty of water, especially during outdoor activities.
Water fountains, juicy fresh fruit snacks, handy heat resistant water bottles all add to keep the fun going in an easy way for family members of all ages.
Tips for Maximum Sun Protection Fashionably
Protective clothing are a fun and often colourful way for people to express themselves while they block UV rays from damaging their skin and hair. Kids and adults can all embrace practical fashion in hats, sunglasses, loose clothes and cover ups:
- Wear comfortable clothing that covers your arms and legs.
- Rock that floppy or wide brim sunhat. It can shade your eyes, ears, neck and face.
- Protect your eyes and block both UVA and UVB rays with sunglasses
Moondust’s Suncare Tips for Outdoor Workers
Natural ways to protect yourself in the sun at work are just an application away. Lifestyle habits for health, are easy to incorporate into a work day so that safer sun exposure is automatically part of your daily routine.
- As in the tips for families, the application of sun protection is important. Apply before you go out and don’t forget the reapplication as the work hours progress. Proper sun protection is easy to tote along in the form of a tube of SPP. Gentle but effective, all natural, reef safe and easy to apply, SPP is a solid partner in protecting outdoor workers from sun damage and potential cancer risk due to long hours.
- Protective clothing may come in the form of a uniform. Be sure to add headgear for sufficient coverage from sun exposure and to prevent heatstroke.
Ensure that any exposed parts that are not covered by long sleeves or comfortably loose skirts or pants, are protected with SPP.
- Schedule work activities to avoid peak sun hours when possible. Seek shade or plan less intense activity for hours that are in higher heat and most direct sun.
- Pack a protective punch in your lunch box, too! A snack with healthy ingredients like nuts, seeds, and fruit not only gives you the energy for a full working day, but also provides protection, hydration and nutrients and antioxidants to prevent sun damage and nourish your skin from the inside out.
