Summer Time and Sun Protection

Summer brings longer days, more sun, and the age-old debate about sun exposure. While we often hear about the dangers of too much sun, leading to concerns like skin cancer, the truth is, the sun is essential for our health, providing benefits like melatonin regulation, mood enhancement, and vitamin D synthesis. It's critical to understand that it's not the sun itself that's harmful, but the way we interact with it, including our diet and the products we put on our skin, that can influence our experience.
 
Proper sun exposure methods include gradually building your skin's tolerance, favoring morning and evening light, and wearing protective clothing during peak hours. These strategies, along with a diet rich in whole foods and limited in processed items and seed oils, can enhance our body's natural resilience to UV rays. Additionally, embracing the early morning sun without sunglasses can support not just our circadian rhythm and hormonal balance but also prepare our skin for extended sun exposure throughout the day.
 
In navigating the complex world of sun protection, choosing the right sunscreen becomes paramount, especially for those looking to minimize their exposure to toxic chemicals. Young Living offers a mineral sunscreen lotion with SPF 50, crafted with non-nano zinc oxide and infused with skin-supporting essential oils, providing a reef-safe, non-chemical alternative to conventional sunscreens. For those occasional sunburns, Young Living's Lavaderm Cooling Mist and Lavaderm After Sun Spray can offer soothing relief, further demonstrating the brand's commitment to supporting skin health and overall well-being through naturally derived products.
