Stay out of the sun! Here's why we Asians avoid it like the plague



A lot of western women like to get the “travelled” look that comes with having a bit of a tan.  But please think about the long term effects this has on your skin!

Asian women avoid the sun like the plague for fear it causes premature wrinkling.  The sun dries out your skin and removes vitamins from it.

So how can you avoid the sun in a hot clmate?

Use an umbrella – I know for western women you may feel like doing this may make you look as though you are from colonial times, but using an umbrella is the number 1 way to avoid sun damage to your skin.

Use sunscreen – of course!

Wear loose clothing that has sleeves – Just bring a long-sleeved shirt with you that you can throw on whenever you need to walk somewhere in the sun (like from your office to your car).

Wear a hat – Large rimmed is best.

Follow these tips and keep your skin supple!
