Sunbathing

The obsession of becoming tanned in our society, to socially decorate ourselves by looking attractive, has caused many people to get literally cooked under the sun. Getting tanned is nothing more than punishing your skin to get a more attractive look. In fact, most people who regularly sun – bathe go through the symptoms of swelling, fever, nausea, skin diseases and sometimes minor hallucinations due to excessive heat. The sun provides us with vital vitamins which is essential for the health of our body. By merely taking a walk under the sun for 15 minutes, we serve the purpose for the health of our skin and body. But if you plan to sun – bathe regularly, do take into account the following tips: -
1. Under all circumstances, use a medically approved SPF lotion to protect your skin from harmful sun rays.
2. The best time to go under the sun is between 7: 30 AM and 10: 00 AM. During the afternoon, the sun rays are much stronger and thus much more harmful to the skin.
3. Give a gap of at least 48 hrs before you go in for another tanning session.
