Stay Out of the Sun Day




Zany Holiday Index 9

I get the feeling the creator of today’s zany holiday lived in Romania, more specifically in Transylvania! It’s outrageous holiday Stay out of the Sun Day, definiately the type of whacky holiday a vampire would celebrate!

Stay Out of the Sun Day is the type of weird holiday created to give skin some R&R. The Sun’s UVA/UVB rays are very damaging, and while the effects aren’t always immediately visible on the epidermis, the dermis tells another story! Unprotected exposure can lead to Skin Cancer, which is lethal in some cases. The Sun’s rays intensify during the summertime. Find a nice shady spot on unique holiday Stay Out of the Sun Day and set up shop there with a comfortable chair and a book, newspaper or crossword puzzle.

If you must go out into the Sun, remember to wear sunscreen! For some people, 15 minutes in the Sun is enough time to start burning.
