Generously apply water-resistant sunscreen with a Sun Protection
Factor (SPF) of at least 15 that provides broad-spectrum
protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB)
rays to all exposed skin. Re-apply every two hours, even on
cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
Wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a
wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, where possible.
Seek shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun’s rays
are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If your shadow is
shorter than you are, seek shade.
Protect children from sun exposure by playing in the shade,
using protective clothing, and applying sunscreen.
Use extra caution near water, snow and sand as they reflect the
damaging rays of the sun which can increase your chance of
sunburn. Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that may
include vitamin supplements. Don’t seek the sun.
Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning
beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look
like you’ve been in the sun, consider using a sunless
self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it.
Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice
anything changing, growing, or bleeding on your skin, see a
dermatologist. Skin cancer is very treatable when caught early.
