It’s not easy to keep track of time when you are out having fun. We may leave our homes applying sunscreen and being diligent about sun safety. The question is do we re-apply every few hours to stay shielded? Protecting skin seven days a week and twenty-four hours a day is undeniably a task.

Although a temporary annoyance, have you experienced redness, discoloration, itchiness or blistering on sun-exposed skin? A combination of a couple or more of these symptoms could indicate sunburn.
If you believe it has to be sunny to end up with a sunburn, you have got it wrong. Did you know you could get sunburnt even on an overcast day?
