One of the best things about summer is spending time outdoors and soaking up some sun. However, too much fun in the sun can be harmful to your skin, and the Texas heat is no joke. While the Texas skies make for some beautiful sunsets and stargazing, it also means less shade and more blazing sun during the day. Here are a few tips to make sure you stay protected because nothing ruins a great trip like a horrible sunburn! During your stay, make sure you’ve packed plenty of sunscreen with a minimum 30 SPF and that you reapply throughout the day. Technically, sunscreen is not waterproof and can easily wash off after too much time in the water or extensive sweating. And don’t let those clouds deceive you! Many people forgo their sunscreen just because it’s a little overcast, which can be just as dangerous. To be safe, apply sunscreen any time you will be outdoors. Despite the sunscreen, some people naturally burn more than others. When this happens, aloe vera is a great treatment to help soothe the burn. The natural cooling effect will ease the pain while also assisting in the healing process so you can get back outside quicker. For easier application, look for a spray on version rather than a lotion. The sun isn’t the only thing that can come for your skin during these Texas summers. We also bring plenty of bugs and pests such as mosquitos, chiggers, gnats, and ticks. Be sure to apply bug spray after applying your sunscreen to help keep the pesky critters away. During the cooler nights, it is also a good idea to wear long sleeves or pants to help protect your skin while you sleep, especially if you’re outside in a tent.
