Fall is here. Just because the temperatures get lower does not mean the sun goes away. The sun will still be there and the ultraviolet rays can cause you skin damage if you do not protect yourself.
I like to run. I have not been able to run ever since it got so hot outside. But now I will be able to head outdoors again.
A new study found that daily, year-round sunscreen use can significantly slow the skin's aging process by as much as 24 percent.*
Follow these sun protection tips from BullFrog:
· Limit sun exposure, particularly between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun's harmful UV rays are the strongest and most damaging to your skin
· Use a water-resistant, broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen with a value of 30 or higher
· Liberally apply sun protection 15 minutes before sun exposure
· Reapply every hour as needed, particularly after swimming or perspiring
· Your lips need protection, too—use an SPF 15 or higher lip balm
