SUN TIPS

Seek shade, especially during midday hours (10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), when UV rays are strongest and do the most damage.

Cover up with clothing to protect exposed skin, and purchase a hat with a wide brim to shade the face, head, ears, and neck.

Grab shades that wrap around and block as close to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays as possible.

Rub on sunscreen with sun protective factor (SPF) 15 or higher, and both UVA and UVB protection.

After a long winter, you are starting to spend more time outdoors, and your skin has more exposure to the sun.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, but is also one of the easiest to prevent. This summer as you enjoy being outside mowing the lawn, playing a round of golf or weeding your flower beds … don’t forget to apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day.
