How to Enjoy The Great Outdoors During Summer

Do you like to party and have fun under the sun? Summer is one of the most awaited times for outdoor hangouts and travel expeditions. It is a moment for bonding and recreation. Fun under the sun can be healthy for us since Vitamin D can be beneficial to our skin but over exposure can be dangerous as it may lead to a variety of skin conditions. This is why applying sun block and wearing appropriate summer clothing is important so that you can enjoy the outdoors without worrying too much about the sun.

In the coming months thousands of young people will escape to warm locales to bask in the sun and enjoy the annual rite of spring break. SunGrubbies.com, an online retailer of sun protection products since 1997 would like to remind spring break revelers that time spent outside requires sun protection. Time is not the skin's greatest enemy; the sun is. And, let's face it; there is nothing less fun than nursing a nasty sunburn in a hotel room while everyone else is out partying.

Little or no sun protection can lead to bad sunburn and health risks - and with that comes pain, swelling and blisters... not a pretty look for a night on the town.

With a spring break filled with wild nights in mind, here are some simple rules for staying safe-under-the-sun during the day:

* To keep skin young and lessen the chance of sunburn, be sure to pack a broad-spectrum sunscreenwith an SPF of at least 15 to protect against UV radiation and then be sure to apply and re-apply it throughout the day.

* Limit the time spent outside and try and stay out of the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. This is when the sun's UVB rays are at their strongest.

* Do not rely on just sunscreen for protection. Fashionable sun protective clothing that is stylish and form-fitting will protect arms, legs and hands for all day outdoor fun.

* Seek shade when possible. Reflective rays will still find their way to do damage, so do not be fooled into thinking sun protection is not needed under an umbrella.

* Wear a hat with a brim of at least three inches to cover the face, neck and give total scalp protection. Rule-of-thumb: the larger of brim, the more sun protection for the head.

* Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB radiation. Choosing a wraparound pair with a wide ear piece will give added protection for the crow's feet area of the eyes.

A natural sunscreen is a great choice for sun protection especially for those who are eco-conscience. SunGrubbies.com carries a wide assortment of natural sunscreens. MelanSol, for example, is made with green tea and vitamin E and is a great sunscreen for under make-up as well as the body and does not irritate sensitive skin.
