Summer is almost here!

It’s time for the beach, walks in the open air and endless afternoons enjoying a good terrace. But be careful, we must not forget that prolonged exposure to the sun can be harmful to our health.

 

Sunlight is essential for life, it helps us to synthesise vitamin D and keep our bones strong. However, overdoing it in the sun can have unpleasant consequences both for our skin and for our eyes. But, relax! Protecting yourself from the sun is easier than it sounds and it doesn’t mean giving up on enjoying the summer.

 

First, use sunscreen! Apply a cream with a high protection factor (SPF 30 or higher) on all exposed areas of your skin and don’t forget to reapply it every two hours and after swimming or sweating. In Muelle Uno you can find a wide variety of sun creams in Primor or Farmacia Aznar Ruiz, which also has moisturisers to prepare your skin to face these days and keep it hydrated.

 

Secondly, don’t go out without your sunglasses! Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. At Soloptical, also at Muelle Uno, you will find an impressive selection of sunglasses that will make you look great while taking care of your eyes.

 

Third, wear protective clothing. Wear hats or caps to protect you from the sun. You’ll find all kinds at Lacoste, Pompeu, Oteros, Bailly Bijoux, Koala Bay and at our permanent flea market at the Chalauras stall, which has some fun hats.

 

Fourth, refresh yourself regularly. You can opt for a slushy, an ice cream, a cocktail or a soft drink in our bars, restaurants and kiosks.

 

Although we know that Muelle Uno is the perfect place to enjoy the summer because of its vibrant atmosphere, shops and restaurants, we want to be your best ally when it comes to sun protection. So, while you’re getting ready for your days outdoors, make sure you stop by Soloptical, Primor and Farmacia Aznar Ruiz in Muelle Uno to get properly equipped.

 

Now, enjoy all that summer has to offer!
