As the weather heats up, it’s time to get outside and enjoy everything summer has to offer — but don’t forget to protect your skin! Sunburns can happen quickly and cause lasting damage if you’re not careful. At Carolina QuickCare, we want to help you stay healthy and safe all summer long.
Here are some easy ways to protect yourself from painful sunburns:
☀️ Use Sunscreen — and Reapply Often
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher before going outdoors. Reapply every two hours — and more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
☀️ Wear Protective Clothing
Lightweight, long-sleeve shirts, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses can shield your skin from direct sunlight.
☀️ Seek Shade
The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you’re outside during these hours, find shade whenever possible — under trees, umbrellas, or pop-up tents.
☀️ Be Mindful Near Water and Sand
Surfaces like water, sand, and concrete can reflect the sun’s rays and increase your risk of burning. Make sure you’re extra cautious in these areas!
☀️ Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps your skin stay healthy and recover more quickly if it does get a little too much sun.
