Summer is the season for road trips. You, the open road and… sunscreen?! Many people don’t realize just how much sun they actually get while in the car.
Sure, tinted windows reduce the amount of sun you get while driving, but are all the windows in your car tinted? Not likely. Sneaky UV rays can still damage your skin through rear and front windows. Doctors are strongly recommending broad spectrum sunscreen while in the car- even when the windows are rolled up, this according to a report published in The Daily Mail (UK) (7/31). The report further explains that sunglasses while driving can reduce the amount of sun damage to eyes, as well.
Be safe on your road trip this summer- buckle up and lather up before you hit the road!
