Make sure your skin sees more sunlight

Sunlight has several beneficial effects on our body.


Hormones
Sunlight produces more endorphins in our body. Endorphins are also called the happiness hormone, and have a pain suppressing effect, give more energy and a happy feeling. The production of serotonin is also stimulated by sunlight, which makes you feel happier.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D can be produced in our skin under the influence of the sun. Vitamin D is a very important vitamin for a well-functioning immune system. It also helps your body absorb calcium better from food and ensures strong bones.

Memory
British research shows that people who regularly see sunlight have a better memory. This is due to the higher amount of oxygen you get in the sun, which stimulates nerve cells in your brain.

Apply sunscreen well!
So make sure you have at least half an hour of sunlight on your skin every day. But beware: the sun can also be very harmful to your skin. So make sure you use good sun protection with at least SPF 30. Keep reapplying it regularly, especially after contact with water. And avoid the sun when it is at its highest, so between 12:00 and 15:00, the power of the sun is so strong that you burn very quickly.
