Pharmacist Warns Against Complacency with Early Summer Sun Exposure

Pharmacist Judita Voverė is urging caution regarding sun exposure in early summer, challenging the common misconception that the sun's rays are weak during this period. She notes that many people mistakenly believe the early summer sun poses little risk, leading them to store away their sun protection products.

Voverė emphasizes that the sun's intensity can be surprisingly high in early summer, catching unprepared skin off guard. This lack of protection can result in skin that is red, hot, and stinging, indicating not only discomfort but also existing damage.

"It is often mistakenly believed that the sun's rays are less dangerous in early summer, so sun protection products are still deep in the drawer," Voverė stated. She highlighted that the skin is not yet accustomed to the sun's effects at this time of year.

For those who do get sunburned, Voverė offers guidance on managing the effects. However, she stresses that by the time sunburn appears, the skin has already sustained damage, underscoring the importance of preventative measures like using sunscreen and seeking shade.

It is often mistakenly believed that the sun's rays are less dangerous in early summer, so sun protection products are still deep in the drawer. According to Judita Voverė, a pharmacist at the 'Camelia' pharmacy chain, the sun's rays can be extremely intense in early summer, and the skin is not yet ready for their effects. The result? Red, hot, stinging skin, which not only causes discomfort but also indicates that damage has already been done.
