The sun does wonders for our overall wellbeing and it’s recommended that we have a daily dose of sunlight for at least 15 minutes a day. When the sun’s rays hit our skin, our body produces Vitamin D, which can help to lower blood pressure, improve brain function, enhance our mood and protect against inflammation, so is essential for our health. But, some of the sun’s rays can be extremely harmful to our skin. Widely known as ultraviolet (UV), it’s these beams of sunlight that we need to protect against. What happens to skin when exposed to the sun? The...
