Five Simple Tips to Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Protection from the sun is something we all need. We may not realize it immediately but the sun does harmful things to the body's largest organ—the skin. The damage can be quite direct, too. Without protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, the sun burns the skin and takes away the skin's collagen. Collagen is a protein serving as the most significant component in our skin's connective tissues. Without collagen, our skin forms wrinkles. To avoid all these, here are few tips on how to protect your skin.

1. Stay in the shade during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Studies have shown that the sun's rays are most harmful during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is not saying, however, that you should avoid all forms of outdoor activities during these hours. If you can help it, however, it will be better to not to engage in activities under the sun at midday.

2. Use sunscreen.

Spring is fast approaching and before we know it, here comes the summer sun. We need sunscreen during the warm and sunny season more than ever. The higher the sun protection factor (SPF) a sunscreen product has, the higher protection from the sun it gives us. It's best to get the highest one, especially for those heading to the beach.

3. Search for other products which enhance your skin despite the sun.

When you may not be able to stay in the shade nor will you have your sunscreen lotion handy most of the time, then it is recommended that you look for other products that enhance your skin despite sun exposure. For this, NS-mart recommends MFIII PE Softgels Advanced Formula. These capsules contain, among other health-giving substances, Collagen HM-Elastin, a quality collagen which provides anti-wrinkle and anti-slack effects on the skin.

4. Wear appropriate clothing.

Protection from the sun can come from something as simple as wearing the appropriate clothing. When you know you are going to be exposed to the sun during the day, then better don long sleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat, whenever appropriate and possible.

5. Drink lots of water.

This goes without saying that when weather is warm and sunny, you lose precious liquids in your body, which can be harmful not just to your skin but to all other organs in your body as well. Stay in the shade once in a while and rehydrate with water. It's good for you.

There you have them: five simple tips to protect your skin from the sun. Remember to try out MFIII PE Softgels Advanced Formula not just for its benefits to the skin but also for all its other anti-aging effects.
