Most people would agree that it feels great to bask in the sun on warm summer day.
But too much sun can be bad news.
If you’re outside for too long, chances are good that you’ll get sunburned. Over time, excessive sun exposure can cause your skin to even look wizened (see definition below).
That’s why it’s a good idea to wear a hat and sunscreen if you’re outside for an extended period of time.
Even on cloudy days, your skin can be soaking up the rays, and the damaging effects of sun can really add up.
So, play it safe and protect your skin from too much sun!
Cool word vocabulary question of the day: Can you think of something other than your skin that can become wizened?
WIZEN: To become dry, wrinkled or shriveled.
