It is important to protect yourself when heading outdoors from the harmful effects of the sun. It doesn't matter what time of year it is, the sun can damage your skin. After hearing this initial warning you may forget that spending time in the sun is actually good for you. Time in the sun gives you vitamin D and helps fight depression. Always remember to apply sunscreen liberally. This is the most common problem when applying sunscreen. Most people only apply a third of what they should and thus they leave their skin exposed to UVA and UVB rays. Also, commonly missed areas include your ears, nose and lips. Lip Balms that contain sunscreen are every bit as good and tasty as regular lip balms and provide protection all year long. For the best in protection try Sun Bum Sunscreens at Sunplay.com
