Summer is here and the living is easy - or is it? We get relaxed during warm, sunny summer days and often expose ourselves to dangers. Dehydration, sunburn and insect bites are casualties of the season. Here is a brief checklist for good times without the summer side effects:
- Wear absorbent cotton clothing. Avoid polyester and other materials that might trap in heat. Light colors and fabrics breathe so you can, too.
- Use a facial moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15. Always wear sunscreen when you are outdoors for 15 minutes or more. Sunburn happens quickly and can put you out of commission for awhile. Nobody wants to be stuck indoors with a burn while everyone else is having fun outside! My favorite facial moisturizer is L'oreal Revitalift. It contains SPF and gives your skin a fabulous boost!
- Get a stainless steel water bottle and fill it with icy cold water all day. Bring it with you around the house, backyard and on day trips. Always have water available to combat thirst and dehydration. Drinking plenty of water also helps you maintain your weight and have beautiful skin.
- There are natural and over-the-counter methods to repel insects. There are several types of Off geared for everyday use, family use and camping. Natural insect repellents include citronella, lemon and garlic.
Enjoy the summer and be safe! That's celebrating the sun with Venusity! After all, I just wanna soak up the sun...
