If you’re dealing with sun exposure, to whatever degree it might be, then you’ll also have to deal with sun protection. At Arizona Sun, we have everything you need to stay safe out in the sun.
How to Best Implement Sun Protection
Sunlight can be a lot of fun, particularly when you’re enjoying a day at the beach or at the pool or at the park or pretty much anywhere outdoors. However, sunlight also means that you need to watch out for yourself, or, more specifically, protect yourself. Sun protection is always going to be key if it comes to spending time outside. We want to make sure that you’re well equipped to face the risks of overt sun exposure and enjoy healthy skin.
Wearing Sunscreen
Sunscreen is the cornerstone of any sun protection regime, since it’s what directly protects your skin from sun damage, regardless of the circumstances. When you use a high SPF sunscreen, you are making sure that your skin isn’t burnt, stained, or dried up. It’s very important for you to find, regardless of skin tone, age, or gender, a sunscreen that actually works for you and your own skin, that doesn’t make you break out, and that provides genuine protection proportional to the amount of sun that you receive. If you work outdoors, for example, you will need a higher SPF sunscreen more often reapplied than someone who, say, works at an office but walks to their job. Both will need sunscreen, but they’ll need one that fits their routine..
Protecting Yourself While in the Water
It’s key to remember that water will represent a whole other problem when it comes to sun protection. After all, sunscreen won’t last long when it’s constantly getting wet. That’s to say, regular sunscreen, because there are going to be water resistant variations of sunscreen that will help you stay safe even when in contact with water. Now, we say “water resistant” because there is no such thing as waterproof sunscreen. With enough water, any sunscreen will inevitably wash off, or else you wouldn’t be able to shower your sunscreen off. However, water resistant sunscreen products will provide protection for up to two hours, after which you should reapply to ensure further safety.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when it comes to enjoying the sun, regardless of your location or the time of year, is that lack of protection will always be an issue. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s cloudy enough or if you think you won’t be out in the sun that long; it’s always important to protect yourself from sun damage to prevent its long term effects, be them premature aging, skin cancer, burns, or any other. Here at Arizona Sun, you will find everything you need in order to confidently venture out into the sun, whether it is to enjoy the summer activities or for your daily activities.
