Beginners guide to building a solar callus and minimizing sunscreen usage this summer ☀️🧴
- Sunrise: stand outside with no sunglasses for 5 min
- UVA rise: go on a 20 min walk with as much skin exposed as possible and no sunglasses. When UVA hits your skin you start producing melanin to prep your skin for safe UVB absorption
- UVB rise: bask for 20-40 min with as much skin exposed as possible and no sunglasses. UVB is essential for vitamin D absorption and hormone regulation
Most people burn in the afternoon because they don’t prep their skin for UVB. They are inside a majority of the morning and then go roast at solar noon, the most intense sunlight of the day.
Sunrise and UVA exposure are vital precursors to getting optimal, protective UVB.
Happy tanning 🙏
