Whether you are 20 or 40, it is important to take good care of your skin. Taking proper care of your skin will keep it looking young and healthy for a long time. One of the best ways you can take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. Exposing your skin to harmful ultraviolet rays not only can cause premature wrinkles; it can also put you at risk of developing skin cancer. Here are some tips for protecting your skin from the sun.

Wear Sunscreen Every day

It is important to put on sunscreen every day, even if it is cloudy outside. Sunscreen will shield your skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Make sure to choose a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15. If you are going to be out in the hot sun for awhile, you should bring your sunscreen with you and reapply it every couple of hours. Also, check your sunscreen's expiration date beforehand so that you know it still works properly.

Put on Protective Clothing

Another great way to protect your skin is to wear protective clothing when you are going to be out in the sun for awhile. Put on sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirt and pants.

Stay Out of the Sun During the Middle of the Day

If you can help it, you should try to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.The sun's rays are the strongest during these hours and can burn your skin.

Adding these simple skin protection tips to your daily routine can really help keep your skin beautiful and healthy looking. If you want to add more color to your skin, just use a self-tanning product.
