As the weather starts to heat up, it’s easy to forget about being sun smart. If you’re headed into the pool always make sure you’ve slopped on enough sun block at least 20 minutes before hitting the water. Use a broad spectrum sun block which is at least SPF 30 and reapply every hour if you’re in the pool or every 2 hours if you’re keeping dry.
Not only will this help to keep your skin protected from developing nasty moles but it will also help to prevent skin ageing.
What are your beach side rituals? 🏖️ Each time I go to the beach I always take 10 deep breaths. Not only does it allow me to fully expand my lungs with oxygen and the other great elements that sea air has to offer such as iodine and magnesium, but it also gives allows me to relax and unwind.
We’re so lucky to have such great amenities in Australia, so when you’re at the beach next time, why not give it a try.
