Forgive the "fun police" 👮♀️nature of this post, but with temperatures as they are and us being as we are, we like to get our arms,legs and other bits n bobs out in the sunshine 🌞🌞
Yay, great to get some Vit D and goodness knows we need it in the UK ⛈️😅
You know there's a "but" coming...
Anyone with scars, particularly those that are less than 2 years old will want to slap on a very high factor sun cream on them if exposing them to sunlight, and I don't just mean FULL sun, but even under light clothing.
WHY? Well scar tissue is not as robust as original skin tissue and lacks the ability to cope with UV rays. Which means newer scars especially will burn and turn redder and stay redder.
Soooo, if you don't want that scar standing out when the tan has disappeared COVER UP!!
Stay sun safe anyway, for other reasons of course and get that Factor 30 to 50 on.
Its the same sun here or on the Costas 😉
