SAFE SUN TIPS

7 Tips for a less burnt summer:

1. NEVER burn – cover up, go inside, or use organic botanical oils or natural zinc for extended sun exposure
2. Build up exposure slowly – start with 3-5 minutes per side
3. Check medications for risk of increased sun sensitivity
4. Build Vitamin D3 reserves in cooler weather, focus on spring and fall exposure, and morning hours
5. Include adequate healthy fats, anti-oxidants, essential vitamins/ minerals and probiotics in a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet
6. Avoid commercial sunblocks with long chemical names
7. Stay hydrated and maintain electrolytes
