Sun Protection Tips

Living in the mountains is fun. What it does to your skin isn’t. Did you know, when at high altitude, it only takes 15 minutes for your skin to be damaged when exposed to the sun? Don't let those desired tans fool you, since getting a tan only means your skin is crying for help! Below are the best ways to protect yourself from the sun.

Sunblock vs. Sunscreen

Sunblock is mineral based and sunscreen is chemical based; both protect the skin from the sun in different ways. Sunblock protects from UV rays by forming a physical shield with minerals such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide while sunscreen contains chemicals which absorb the UV rays instead of your skin. It is important to be using either a sunblock or sunscreen that is at least 30 SPF or greater. It is best if the sunblock or sunscreen denotes that it has broad-spectrum protection and is water resistant. Sunblock is better for sensitive skin. 

Protect those luscious lips

Everyone should find lip balm that protects from the sun with 30 SPF or greater.

Wear sun shirts and clothes

SPF sun shirts are a great way for kids and adults to not worry as much about reapplying sun protecting lotions, however be mindful of covering all exposed skin with sunblock or sunscreen.

Keep sunglasses and a hat with you

Protect your eyes and scalp. Ideally, everyone should wear a full-brim hat since Colorado Mountain Medical dermatologists find many skin cancers on patients' scalps and the top of their ears. 

Time is up, apply more protection

Sunblock, sunscreen and lip balm can only last so long, no matter the SPF. You need to reapply every 2 hours, every time you come out of the water and towel off, or every 40 to 80 minutes if sweating or swimming.

Staying shaded during peak hours

Relax in the shade or under an umbrella during the sun's strongest hours between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where are the most likely places to have skin cancer?

Your face, ears and scalp are the most common areas where dermatologists see skin cancer, as well as the less thought of places like the top of your hands.
