Happy first day of Summer!🌞 We want to share some tips for a safe and healthy summer.
🧴You should be wearing SPF year-round but during the higher UV months it's important to apply each morning and reapply every two hours as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology. Not only will this protect your skin from sunburn and premature skin aging but also prevent skin cancer. If you are looking for a new SPF stop into Broadway today! Our new SPF was reviewed by our pharmacists for safety and efficacy.
💧 Especially with the hotter weather it is important to make sure you are staying hydrated. The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that women drink nine cups of water a day and men drink 13. However, that number can vary depending on factors like a person’s age, location, and activity level.
⛱ Those with certain chronic health conditions should look for shade as the heat can bring problems. The sun and heat can also trigger many issues such as migraines, asthma symptoms, rosacea flare-ups and more. It is also important to learn the side effects of your medications as sunlight and heat can side effects worse.
✈ Prevent confusion, lost, or running out of your medication. The Center of Disease Control (CDC) has a great resource for travel vaccinations that shows what vaccinations, if any, are required for specific destinations; https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list
