Sun Day

The amount of sun exposure needed to produce sufficient vitamin D varies depending on factors such as age, skin tone, time of day, season, and geographic location. However, in general, it is recommended that adults get about 10-30 minutes of sun exposure to the arms, legs, and face, two to three times a week, without sunscreen or protective clothing. This amount of sun exposure is typically enough to produce adequate vitamin D levels in the body.

Sunlight can be both beneficial and harmful to skin health, depending on the amount and duration of exposure.

Exposure to sunlight triggers the production of vitamin D in the skin, which is important for overall health and has been linked to a reduced risk of certain diseases.

Additionally, sunlight exposure can help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD). while sunlight can be beneficial for skin health in moderation, it is important to protect the skin from excessive exposure to avoid skin damage and an increased risk of skin cancer.
