Outdoor activities are a boost to mental and physical health. Whether you enjoy summit hikes, mountain biking, trail running, road racing, or a good run on the beach, being outdoors can be the boost you need for a great workout.

But are you very careful about protecting yourself during exposure to sunlight?
Take a minute to guess what skin protection a cotton t-shirt gives you..…?
The answer may come as a surprise- a cotton t-shirt offers about 7 spf, down to 3 spf when wet.
Be skin smart with these tips for protection:
  • Eat foods that are believed to have be skin healthy:
    • kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts- antioxidant value of suforaphane which is believed to protect the body against UV radiation.
    • Orange colored fruits like peaches, apricots, papaya, colored peppers and roots like sweet potatoes and carrots- contain high doses of carotenoids an antioxidant that reduces the effects of UV radiation.
    • Watermelon and tomatoes- contains lycopene which after 10-12 weeks of use provide skin protection
    • Salmon and other fish oils contain Omega-3 fatty acids found in may decreases risk of skin damage and skin cancer
    • Oysters, beef, chicken, tofu, pork, lamb, hemp seeds- high in zinc, considered to be important in skin protection
  • Daily 15 SPF sunscreen to entire body. Use makeup that has 15 SPF. Reapply (30 SPF or higher) every two hours while outdoors and immediately after swimming or heavy sweating.
  • Wear UPF clothing- (over 30 UPF).
  • Use hats, sunglasses with UV protection.
  • Seek shade while outdoors and save extended workouts for early morning or late afternoon (after 4pm).
  • Anti-inflammatories, retin-A, some antibiotics and other medications increases your sensitivity to the sun- Use extra protection when taking sun sensitive medications.

Skin is the largest organ of the body. So, it is imperative to take care of the skin. Well, laser skin treatment is all about removing scars, correcting sun damage, eliminating spider veins etc. Laser skin resurfacing is extremely transformational. One can get rid of dull skin as well. If you have enlarged oil glands, then you should prefer laser skin therapy. Nobody wants wrinkles and fine lines on their face. The nature of treatment varies from person to person. The length of recovery completely depends on your skin type.
