Protect Your Skin, Protect Yourself

After a long winter, the sun is finally out! Warmer weather comes with some dangers that everyone should be aware of before enjoying the sun. This sun and heat information will better prepare you to safely enjoy the summer sun, and stay cool. 

  • Minimize your exposure during peak intensity: 10am - 4pm.
  • Apply waterproof sunscreen of SPF 30 or above, with both UVA and UVB protection.
  • You can get burnt on a cloudy day. Haze and lower temperatures do not protect you from sun damage.
  • Apply sunscreen 20-30 minutes before it is needed and reapply at least every 2 hours spent in the sun.
  • Put on some shades. The eye is the second most common site in which UV-related cancer develops.
  • Don't bare it all. To help stay cool, wear lightweight, light-colored, loose clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible.

Nobody wants to spend their time sun burnt, over heated or exhausted. Prepare for being in the sun, and staying cool the best you can. The sun and heat can be harmful and make the heat miserable, but just doing a few of the things mentioned above will help avoid some of the  inconvenience caused by the heat. Now get out and enjoy the sun safely!
