Dressing up appropriately during the hot weather can be challenging as the fiery sun appeals to your senses to go mild on clothing, while the Ultraviolet (UV) radiation implications reminds you to not expose your skin to the blazing ray.
So What To Wear?
Mild Clothing – You definitely need to go mild on clothing with simple but elegant breathable clothing styles that allows ventilation penetration into the skin. However, going mild on clothing more often than not means wearing dresses that expose the skin. This is why you need to ensure that you apply sunscreen that has oxybenzone and avobenzone components on your skin to absorb UV rays and protect you from skin cancer, especially the parts that would be exposed to the sun: your face, neck and hands.
Using sunscreen would protect your skin from sunburn and also save you from skin damages and health implications of the UV ray such as skin cancer, premature aging, immune system suppression etc.
Tie your Hair or Wear a Hat – Covering your hair with scarfs or hats would further protect your head from the radiation. Also, for those who prefer to tie the scarf as a hijab, it would protect your face and neck from the sun’s damaging UV rays.
Wear Sunglasses – Aside from adding a classy vibe to your overall outfit and look, it would perfectly protect your eyes from damages such as cataracts, dark eye circles etc. It would also block out sun reflections and also reduce eye strain.
