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