Staying Healthy in the Sun

Drink lots of water.  If you’re getting a massage after spending a portion of the day out in the hot sun, make sure you are well-hydrated before arriving for your massage.

Massage on sunburn hurts! If your skin is red, the best thing to do is cancel your massage appointment.  As the therapist increases circulation and blow flow in your body, sunburned skin can be easily irritated, and getting massage on skin that’s burned can itch, burn, sting, or even make you feel nauseas.

If you plan on spending time in the sun after a massage, remember to apply sunscreen but most importantly … Reapply Reapply Reapply!! The key to not burning your skin is to reapply sun block or wear protective clothing.

Have fun in the sun this summer!
