While it’s important to get enough daylight, it’s equally crucial to protect your skin from overexposure to UV rays in direct sunlight, which can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Here are some tips for safe sun exposure:
Use sunscreen: apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when spending extended periods outside.
Wear protective clothing: long sleeves, hats, and sunglasses can help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Seek shade: if the sun is bright (check the UV-index) avoid direct sunlight during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM).
Daylight is a natural and effective way to boost mental health. By understanding the science behind it and making small changes to increase your daily exposure, you can improve your mood, reduce stress, and enhance your overall well-being. But embrace the power of daylight safe and let it brighten not just your day, but your life.
