Not Wearing Sunscreen
There are a few things you want to take back from your travels, such as souvenirs and great memories, but a painful peeling sunburn is not something you want to come home with. It’s easy to get carried away and forget the sunscreen when you arrive in a hot destination, but every time you get badly burnt, you increase your risk of skin cancer and you speed up the aging process in your skin. Keep your skin healthy and looking young by covering up and slapping on some SPF. Also, it’s a good idea to avoid the blistering heat of the midday sun in tropical climates – sit in the shade and sip a fruit smoothie instead!
