After all, side effects of sun exposure has been talked about too much \u2014 from premature skin aging to increased <strong>chances of skin cancer<\/strong>. And, of course, no one likes to walk away after a relaxing rest, with peeling skin that hurts too much. Plus, a sunburn might even cause some to feel nauseous and sick.\u00a0<\/p> <p>But, at the same time, do you know that one of the aforementioned things could actually be harming you instead?

Instead, your sunblock might actually be causing some damage to your skin and your health. This certainly begets the question -- oh, what can we do to prevent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/health\/natural-healing\/sunburn-3-ways-to-soothe-your-skin-1665.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sunburns and sun damage<\/a>?<\/p> <p>While <strong>covering yourself up<\/strong> is great to ensure that your skin isn't exposed for a prolonged period of time, here are other options.\u00a0Making or picking up a <strong>natural sunscreen<\/strong> would be a great option, but <strong>shying away from the sun\u2019s peak period<\/strong> (10am to 4pm) would work too. Other than that, you might also consider <strong>taking refuge in the shade<\/strong> occasionally.<\/p> <p><em>Lee Hui Bing<\/em><\/p> <p><em>Photos: Getty Images<\/em><\/p> <h2> <span>Read
