11 Ways To Avoid Sunburns

It's never too late to get burnt.

Mar 29, 2016

Sunburn may be the biggest issue over spring break, but it's never too late to get burnt, especially with the warm weather that will be (hopefully) coming our way soon. Follow this guide to keep your skin healthy both now and as the sun gets stronger. Just remember, you can still get burnt through the clouds!

1. Use a sunscreen with an SPF over 30.

Sunscreen is so important.

2. Cover the areas of your body that are already burnt.

Sunburns can only get worse in the sun, so covering them up as much as possible is always a great idea.

3. Do things inside.

I know that this sounds silly, but staying inside helps for obvious reasons.

4. Use a hat.

Keep your face safe!

5. Use an umbrella at the beach (because those are opening soon).

Keep everything safe!

6. Find shade.

See the umbrella section.

7. Take a nap inside.

Naps are my answer to all ailments.

8. Use lots of aloe.

This doesn't necessarily prevent burns, but it does make you feel better. Use it!

9. Wear sunglasses.

These prevent burns around your eyes, which can cause wrinkles.

10. Don't be deceived by clouds.

You can still get burnt.

11. Just stay inside.

Seriously, the burn isn't worth it.

I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
