San Diego, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 22, 2011

In the coming months thousands of young people will escape to warm locales to bask in the sun and enjoy the annual rite of spring break. SunGrubbies.com, an online retailer of sun protection products since 1997 would like to remind spring break revelers that time spent outside requires sun protection. Time is not the skin's greatest enemy; the sun is. And, let’s face it; there is nothing less fun than nursing a nasty sunburn in a hotel room while everyone else is out partying.

Little or no sun protection can lead to a bad sunburn and with that comes pain, swelling and blisters… not a pretty look for a night on the town.

With a spring break filled with wild nights in mind, here are some simple rules for staying safe-under-the-sun during the day:

•     To keep skin young and lessen the chance of sunburn, be sure to pack a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to protect against UV radiation and then be sure to apply and re-apply it throughout the day.
•     Limit the time spent outside and try and stay out of the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. This is when the sun’s UVB rays are at their strongest.
•     Do not rely on just sunscreen for protection. Fashionable sun protective clothing that is stylish and form-fitting will protect arms, legs and hands for all day outdoor fun.
•     Seek shade when possible. Reflective rays will still find their way to do damage, so do not be fooled into thinking sun protection is not needed under an umbrella.
•     Wear a hat with a brim of at least three inches to cover the face, neck and give total scalp protection. Rule–of-thumb: the larger of brim, the more sun protection for the head.
•     Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB radiation. Choosing a wraparound pair with a wide ear piece will give added protection for the crow’s feet area of the eyes.            

At SunGrubbies.com looking good and being sun protected go hand-in-hand. There are fabulous, sun safe outdoor fashions that offer excellent sun protection. A sexy form-fitting Princess Swimsuit will work great as an additional swimsuit to take along. The chic Bella or Ribbon Braid sun hat will keep the face from blistering from the sun.
