Protective Guidelines: For Every Skin Color Under the Sun

Summer is here and everyone wants that sun-kissed, fresh-from-the-beach glow. However, what you could end up with are wrinkles, sun spots, and early signs of aging.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology the following are 5 ways to enjoy what the summer has to offer while avoiding the harmful effects of the sun:

·  Avoid outdoor activities between 10am and 4pm, when the sun’s rays are the strongest.

· Seek shade whenever possible.

· Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor of 15 or higher.

· Wear sun-protective clothing and accessories, such as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.

· Follow the “shadow rule” – If your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun’s damaging rays are at their strongest

If the “damage” has already been done, contact your Sona consultant for a free skin evaluation and we will tailor a treatment regimen specific to your skin care needs. 866-Get-Sona.
