Sun, salty water and sand everywhere, that’s the perfect formula to burn your skin during your next vacation in Nuevo Vallarta or Playa del Carmen Mexico.
In Mexico the UV report indicates 11 to 9 approximately daily (1pm to 2pm) that means your skin and eyes can be affected if you don’t protect yourself. Just to give you an example, a person exposed to UV12 wearing no protection will be burned in 15 minutes, and believe us it is not a good way to start vacation on a Mexican Beach.
Here some recommendations for you and your family:
- Don´t go to the beach between 12pm to 3pm, try to visit it early or before that hours. Even if you are wearing sunscreen it is dangerous for you, make a schedule that lets you enjoy other activities during that time.
- Bring your own beach umbrella, that would keep you not exposed to the sun directly.
- Wear sunscreen 60 spf and upper, try to find one water resistant (Some of them needs to be reinforced every 80 minutes)
- Don´t forget your sunglasses and some cap or hat.
What if I already burned my skin?
Here are some home remedies for you:
- Aloe Vera is the best option to keep your skin calm, don’t touch the burned area with anything else. Don’t use lotion or anything with alcohol.
- If you’re sweaty take cold showers and try to don’t expose yourself to the sun again until you feel better
