Sun Protection Tips

Nature’s elements wait for no man. Therefore, every precaution should be taken to ensure you stay healthy when you brave the harsh sun carnival Monday and Tuesday. Here are some tips.

Move Around

Once you are out in the sun should try to move around as much as you can. A person who runs around on the beach all day is likely to develop an overall tan while another who prefers lying down under the hot sun will get badly burnt in no time at all. Same applies on the road.

Wear Sun block

Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen for effective protection against all UV rays. It should have a proper SPF (over 30) and be capable of blocking both UVA and UVB rays.

Wear Protective Clothing

We know Carnival doesn’t usually promote this, but wear protective clothing. Chose costumes which cover more of the body or wear appropriate clothing under costumes where possible.

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure

Carnival is basically a big parade in the sun. However, you can make smart choices like staying in shaded areas where possible
