Keep your skin from getting scorched this summer


Rx for Brown Skin for African American Skin Care

 


Summer is almost here, and skin care experts have been popping up in news sources everywhere to offer their tips on how to keep skin safe in the sunny months. While you're hopefully already using an African American skin care product with SPF, there is still more that you can do to keep your skin looking radiant in the summer.


For example, you should try to avoid direct exposure to the sun during certain times of the day. Everyday Health states that individuals who are concerned about their skin should avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are the strongest. This doesn't mean you can't go outside during these hours, just be sure to wear protective layers, such as a hat


The news source added that it's important to shield your eyes.


"To better protect yourself, choose wraparound-style sunglass frames that cover the delicate skin around the eyes, and be sure to get a pair that block UVA and UVB light,'" according to the information provider.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reminds people that you should check the expiration date on your sunscreen, since it may have expired. The organization also stressed the importance of using skin care products that contain SPF.
