Show Your Skin a Little Love

Did you know just 15 minutes in the sun without protection can damage your skin? UV rays don’t just cause sunburn, they can lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer. Protect yourself and your loved ones with these sun-smart tips:

  • Seek Shade: Avoid direct sunlight, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

  • Cover Up: Choose tightly woven, long-sleeved clothing to block UV rays.

  • Hat's Off to Protection: A wide-brimmed hat shields your face, ears, and neck.

  • Sunglasses Matter: Wear wraparound sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays.

  • Use Sunscreen: Apply water-resistant SPF 30+ sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days.

 

Don’t take risks with your skin, be sun smart every day!


 

Resisting the Pressure to be Perfect

Do you ever feel like you're not quite good enough, no matter how hard you try? When we put high pressure on ourselves and always strive for perfection, it can leave us feeling anxious, stressed, and sometimes we get stuck. Learn to Live's clinical team will discuss the impact of perfectionism and share practical tools to help you move forward with more self-compassion and freedom from the high pressure of perfectionism.

 Everyone is Having Fun in the Sun – Why Don’t I?

Do you experience a pattern of low mood setting in when summertime comes rather than the fun in the sun that others seem to be enjoying? Although Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) occurs mostly in the winter, a few instead experience those feelings during the summer months. This is sometimes referred to as "Reverse SAD". Time spent indoors avoiding heat and humidity, disrupted sleep schedules, and late nights could lead to the struggles that those with Reverse SAD often experience. Join us for this 15-minute webinar and we’ll share research-supported strategies to boost your mood.
