Top 5 Ways To Protect Your Skin From Tanning

1. Sunscreen is Essential: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all exposed skin at least 15 minutes before heading outdoors. Reapplication is crucial, especially after sweating or swimming. Choose a water-resistant formula for extended activity. (Image source: Canva)

2. Sunglasses and Cover Up with Protective Clothing: Sunglasses are the most fashionable and popular approach to protect oneself from the sun's rays. To protect your eyes while outside in the sun, wear UV-protected sunglasses. Wear a decent full-sleeved shirt with pants to avoid direct sun exposure. Remember that light-colored garments reflect the sun's beams. (Image source: Canva)

3. Eating antioxidant-rich foods: A balanced diet high in antioxidants is always suggested for radiant, youthful skin. An antioxidant-rich diet increases collagen levels in the skin, which helps to minimize tanning. It is a great source of keeping skin healthy and fed, resulting in good skin. Tomatoes, berries, broccoli, olive oil, and other fruits and vegetables offer excellent UV protection. (Image source: Canva)

4. Stay hydrated: Hydration is an essential factor in avoiding sunburn. When the body is dehydrated, the skin becomes more vulnerable to sun exposure. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when spending time outside. (Image source: Canva)

5. Limit Direct Sun Exposure: The longer your skin is exposed to the sun, the greater the risk of tanning. Plan outdoor activities for earlier mornings or later afternoons when the sun's intensity is lower. (Image source: Canva)
