MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (WRN) — Keep skin safety in mind during the summer months.
University of Minnesota Medical School dermatologist Dr. David Pearson recommends a routine of applying sunscreen:
“Even on days when you don’t think you’re going to have a lot of sun exposure, it still can be helpful to just apply the sunscreen in the morning before you go out, and that way you’re less likely to forget it. On those days when you do go out or you get unexpected sun exposure or you go out for lunch or something like that, and you may get more exposure than you might think,” Pearson said.
If you get a sunburn, cold showers, over the counter creams and staying hydrated can help.
