THE TRADITION OF SPRING BREAK GOES BACK 2,000 YEARS TO THE DAYS OF THE ROMAN AND GREEK EMPIRES. YOUNG PEOPLE PARTIED TO CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING AND THE SEASON OF FERTILITY WHICH THEY WOULD CELEBRATE BY HONORING THE GOD OF WINE.
MODERN-DAY SPRING BREAK IN THE UNITED STATES GOES BACK TO THE 1930'S WHEN COLLEGE STUDENTS WOULD GATHER FOR SWIM MEETS IN WARM CLIMATES SUCH AS FLORIDA. THROUGH THE YEARS, ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOLS WERE INCLUDED IN SPRING BREAK, WHICH LASTS ONE WEEK. THIS GIVES FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL TO PLACES WHERE THE WEATHER IS WARM AND SPEND SOME TIME IN THE SUN.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO SOAK UP THE SUN ON YOUR SPRING BREAK, DON'T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN. THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF SUNSCREEN ON THE MARKET. YOUR BEST BET IS TO USE ONE WITH NATURAL INGREDIENTS, WHICH IS BETTER FOR YOU AND THE EARTH. LOOK FOR SUNSCREENS THAT CONTAINS ZINC OXIDE AND TITANIUM DIOXIDE AS THE FIRST INGREDIENTS. THESE ARE MINERAL-BASED SUNSCREENS AND OFFER BROAD-SPECTRUM EFFECTIVENESS (UVA AND UVB), THEY DON'T BREAK DOWN EASILY IN THE SUN, THEY CAUSE FEW ALLERGIC REACTIONS AND ARE WELL TOLERATED BY YOUR SKIN. CHEMICAL BASED SUNSCREENS CAN CONTAIN HARMFUL TOXINS SUCH AS RETINYL PALMITATE AND OXYBENZONE.
THE MOST EFFECTIVE SUNSCREENS HAVE SPF, WHICH PROTECTS AGAINST UVB, AND RANGE IN NUMBER BETWEEN 15 AND 50. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CHOOSE A N HIGHER THAN THAT. IT IS BETTER TO USE A SUNSCREEN THAT YOU RUB IN, RATHER THAN A SPRAY. APPLY 2 OUNCES TO EFFECTIVELY COVER YOUR SKIN ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES BEFORE GOING OUT IN THE SUN, AND REAPPLY EVERY 2 HOURS.
