The Right Balance of Sun is Bliss
When the day is bright and full of light, most of us enjoy the sunshine. Our bodies benefit greatly from natural light in the morning. For some people, a sunny day is a stress reliever that makes them feel not only energetic and optimistic, but also improves their mood and the benefits are felt throughout the day. Some people are deficient in Vitamin D. Hence, it is critical for them to get more sunlight in order to improve their health. Sunlight has also been linked to mental health, with less sun exposure causing serotonin levels to drop, which can lead to depression. Vitamin D can also help maintain strong bones. Sun, on the other hand, is a major threat of skin damage, and too much exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer. Let's reflect on our sun exposure and the precautions we can take to avoid sun damage.
The most common side effects of too much sun exposure are sunburns, which can cause redness, swelling, blisters, tanning, wrinkles/aging, hot and dry skin, and tenderness. As a result, SPF is your BFF! SPF 30 is recommended by dermatologists for both the face and the body. More SPF can block more UV rays, but it also depends on the skin type and sensitivity of the individual. Always wear protective clothing and a hat/cap with a wide brim to avoid sunburn or heat rash. As usual, Urban Body Fix has a spot-on perfect solution. We're excited to introduce our merchandise, which includes a set of UBF T-shirts and a cap. Not only does it have an amazingly chic look, but it will also protect you from sunburns. So, what are you waiting for? Go, grab them!
Tip: Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out of the sun and should be applied after every two hours in the sun. Essential oils like vitamin C, tea tree, peppermint, chamomile, eucalyptus and aloe vera can help soothe sunburn.
The sun's ultraviolet light can indeed harm the retina. It can also trigger cloudy bumps to form along the edge of the cornea, which can grow over time and obstruct vision. Headache, nausea, dizziness, decreased urine output, and weakness are all symptoms of heat exhaustion. If sunscreen has not been applied then it can also cause wrinkles and aging as UV light can damage collagen and elastic tissue in the skin which becomes fragile and causes sagging. The sun has both positive and negative effects on our bodies. As a result, it is critical to maintain a proper sun balance by enjoying the sunshine and sunny days while avoiding all sun damage.
So, don’t be sun-shy, say hello to vitamin D and enjoy the sun in moderation. :)
