The only problem with holidays in hot places, is not taking care of yourself when the sun starts beating down. There is much proof, that shows the sun can damage people’s health quite severely. Can it really be that bad though?

Most of the people that were either born in the Caribbean or have lived there for a long time will have more tolerance to the sun. If you don’t visit that often, then it will be harder to cope with. The time it takes to burn the skin without sun lotion is minimal in hot countries. But this can only happen if this is not treated well, if you don’t keep an eye on it, then it could get very bad, in some extreme circumstances resulting in skin cancer.

The best way to look after your skin in the sun, and probably the easiest, is to just apply some sun screen. This simply moisturises into the skin but provides block from the damaging rays of the sun. What we need to determine, is how serious are these problems? Becoming sleepy and feeling off balance is a sign that the sun and the heat are really getting to you. The problem is this can manifest itself as sun stroke. Amy Winehouse seems to be the latest victim of Sun Stroke, claiming that Michael Jackson spoke to her in her dreams and told her to stop taking drugs.

The best way to combat sun stroke are to get under the shade every now and then to cover yourself. People often have the misconception that swimming can prevent sun stroke and sun burn. Unfortunately this is not the case, although it does help with sun stroke, if you don’t have any sun cream or lotion on, then it can actually be much worse than normal.

Although the sun does have the ability to be a bad thing, if you’re careful Caribbean holidays and Diving holidays can be enjoyable.
