When i started blogging i came across Sun Savvy, a group of bloggers committed to promoting better care of the skin, protecting our skin from the sun and promoting awareness on what the sun could do to our skin.
Not everyone is aware that long exposure to the sun is not healthy. Although the sun is a good source of vitamin D, which helps us absorb calcium for stronger, healthier bones. Unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause skin damage, eye damage, immune system suppression, and skin cancer. Even people in their twenties can develop skin cancer.*
As a beach lover, my long exposure to the sun is inevitable so i make it a point to always have a sunscreen with me. I love having a tan line especially during summer, also it's the only time of the year that having tanned skin is in. Last month, I signed the sun savvy pledge. I am becoming more aware of the dangers of the sun and taking care to be mindful about protecting myself.
DO your part. Sign the pledge. Spread the word. Most of all, take care of your skin.
