With sweltering heat waves reported across the country, we at Hawaiian Springs Artesian Water thought it would be a good time to remind everyone things to keep in mind to “beat the heat.” Let’s all practice safe sun habits and stay properly hydrated as we head into what are typically the year’s hottest months here in Hawaii:

Sunscreen: A Healthy Habit – Sunscreen isn’t just for the beach, especially in tropical locations like Hawaii, where sun damage can occur from even minimal exposure such as walking your dog outside or driving. Make applying sunscreen a habit, and of course, reapply after water sports or perspiring.

Made in the Shade – During peak sun damage hours (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), seek shelter from the sun by staying in the shade or wearing a hat.  And don’t forget that sun damage can happen outside these peak hours as well.
