You should think about protecting certain parts of your body from the sun as well. UV damage is implicated in snow blindness, the formation of cataracts and lasting damage to the retina of the eye. Sunglasses with a colorless UV coating can block out 95 percent of UVB rays and 60 percent of UVA rays. A baseball hat's brim can shield your eyes from 50 percent of the sun's rays. Protect your nose and the tops of your ears as well.
Lifeguards wear serious sunblock on their noses for good reason.
Lips can also burn easily, get nasty wrinkles and are prime targets for skin cancer. If your skin is damaged by the sun, there is still hope. According to a recent study, alpha hydroxy acids smoothed onto skin worked to erase wrinkles, plump sagging skin, fade age spots, and increase skin thickness. However, the best way to fight aging caused by the sun is to protect your skin before it gets burned.
