5 Natural Sun Safety Tips 

• Tip 1: Gradually Build Your Solar Callus: Ease into sun exposure like you would a new workout routine. Start with 5–15 minutes of direct sunlight (no sunscreen), depending on your skin tone.
• Tip 2: Get Sun Before Sunscreen: Sunscreen blocks the body’s ability to produce vitamin D—one of sunlight’s greatest benefits. Try to get your sun exposure first, then apply a mineral-based sunscreen.
• Tip 3: Nourish Your Skin from Within: Boost your skin’s resilience to UV damage by loading up on foods rich in antioxidants.
• Tip 4: Rise and Shine with the Sun: Aim for sunlight within 30–60 minutes of waking. This supports your internal clock, naturally increases serotonin and cortisol, and improves sleep later at night.
• Tip 5: Cover Up—Naturally: Instead of relying on chemical sunscreens, opt for UPF-rated clothing, hats, and shade during peak UV hours.
