3 ways to protect your skin from the sun this summer

Maintaining healthy, vibrant skin all year round is important, but especially soin the summer. Applying sunscreen is only one stepin keeping your skin perfect. As the sun continues to rise in the sky, make sure that you're following these skin tips to keep your face young and healthy looking, while keeping the risk of skin cancer and exposure-related blemishes down.

Three of the best ways to protect your skin this summerinclude:

Stay in the shade - Simply staying out of the sun's rays, or going underindirect sunlight at least, is one of the best ways to minimize exposure. Wearing a hat with a wide brim, staying under trees or using a parasol or umbrella can cut sun exposure significantly.

Use sunblock and time exposure - If you want to avoid overexposing your skin to the sun but still want to tan, use the appropriate SPF sunscreen to minimize exposure, while limiting your time in UV rays to short periods to get some sun but not too much.

Recover from previous exposures - If you haven't been following these tips in the past it is also important to recover and improve skin appearance through minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. A chemical peel can revitalize your skin's appearance, while specialized laser treatment can help remove dark spots and discolorations.
