ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR SKIN IN THE GARDEN!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
COVER UP!
Did you know that plant sap on the skin when hit with sunlight creates a chemical reaction that can cause painful blisters and rash? The rash may appear within hours to a few days. To avoid this ensure you wear gloves and long sleeves to prevent direct contact with your skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
SUNSCREEN!
Be generous! Apply to all visible skin including your ears and lips to ensure you are protected from the sun’s harsh rays. SPF 30 or higher is a must and water resistant broad-spectrum protection is an added bonus while working outdoors! We promise your skin will thank you later!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TIME OF DAY IS IMPORTANT!
Avoiding the hours between 10AM and 2 PM not only keeps you protected from the sun’s strongest rays, but it also will help reduce the risk of heat rash and heat stroke. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PREVENT BUG BITES!
These little pests can cause more harm than just an annoying itch. Infection, injury and illness may all follow a simple bug bite. It is important to use precautions such as spraying DEET on your clothing when outdoors, avoiding gardening at dusk or dawn when bugs are most active, flicking or brushing a bug away instead of killing it to avoid biting or stinging, and checking for ticks especially in your hair and other hidden spaces. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
READ LABELS!
Items such as fertilizers or pest repellants may cause irritation to your skin such as a mild rash or, even worse, a severe burn. Please read the labels and follow the precautions to protect yourself & your skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE!
This is self explanatory. 😉 Keep a cloth handy to wipe away sweat or blot your face.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TREAT WOUNDS RIGHT AWAY!
Minor injuries in the garden should not go untreated. Even those beautiful roses aren’t worth a damaging infection right?! If those pesky thorns jump out and get you, take action. Wash the wound with soap & water, apply petrolatum ointment & bandage before continuing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay skin safe!
