  • Spend small periods of time in the sun to avoid getting sunburned.
  • Use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15 to avoid sunburn.
  • Use a stronger sunscreen for sensitive areas: nose, lips and cheeks.
  • Always reapply sunscreen after after swimming or showering.
  • Avoid getting in the sun between 10 am and 2 pm when the sun’s rays are strongest.

If you notice any unusual discolored splotches or lesions on your skin as well as changes in the shape or color of freckles and moles, look for effective natural home remedies or check with your doctor immediately.

Did you know ?


Muscles and Exercise.

When muscles work hard they need more oxygen to burn sugar. So when you run your breathing gets faster and deeper, and your heart pumps faster and harder to boost blood supply. A fit person develops bigger lungs and a strong heart. If you're unfit, a long run makes you pant and your heart beat fast.
