As the sun blazes down on Wales (well it was when I wrote this), it’s time to tackle the real dangers of soaking up those rays.
Nobody wants to end up looking like a human tomato, a lobster, or, heaven forbid, a raisin.
Before you step outside, remember to slather on sunscreen like it’s your last line of defence against a fiery apocalypse (because, let’s be honest, it kind of is).
And, for the love of all that is fashionable, wear a hat! Unless you’re keen on being mistaken for a crustacean at a beach barbecue, that is.
Now, let’s talk about hydration.
Drink water like you’re a camel preparing for a desert trek.
Your skin will thank you, and so will your friends, who won’t have to disguise you as a picnic snack.
Seriously, no one wants to be the friend who shows up looking like a wrinkly old prune!
And while you’re at it, lather on that lotion like you’re frosting a cake. You don’t want to be the walking vegetable at the summer barbecue, do you? “Oh look, there’s Gary, the sun-dried tomato!”
In summary, enjoy the sunshine, but don’t let it turn you into a walking seafood dish or dried-up fruit.
Your skin will thank you, and your friends will appreciate not having to explain why they brought a salad to the party instead of you
So, go forth and bask wisely!
