Margarita Burns - The Sunny Side Effect You Didn’t See Coming

As we welcome summer and spend long hot days lounging by the water with that refreshing beverage in hand, we must also not forget about the Margarita Burn.

Unveiling the Dangerous Duo: Citrus and Sun

What ingredient is essential in a margarita? Lime. The juice from limes contains chemicals that sensitize your skin to UV radiation. When exposed to the sun, this can lead to severe burns, depending on the extent of your exposure and your skin type.

Don’t Forget Your Lips!

Be especially cautious about where that lime juice ends up! Your lips are delicate and especially vulnerable to Margarita Burns.

Margarita Burns can be very serious, causing not only pain and blisters but also potential long-term skin discoloration. This does not mean you can’t enjoy your favorite summer drink in the sun, but instead you should be taking the necessary precaution to prevent Margarita Burns.

Always remember to wash your hands and mouth after drinking in the sun, and use a straw to avoid direct contact with the lime juice. We also recommend applying Lip Protect SPF 35 by iS Clinical to further protect your lips from sun burn.

Margarita burns may be the last thing on your mind when you’re baking in the sun, but a little caution goes a long way.

Soak up that vitamin D, responsibly!

Cheers,
