Sun Safety – Can make a happier summer!
The hot sun is part of summer but remembering to protect your skin from the harmful rays is also a part of summer.  Here are some tips to remember this summer no matter the activity you are embarking!
1. Pick the right sunscreen – SPF isn’t how strong the sunscreen is but how long it will keep you protected!
2. Make sure you choose one that has UVA and UVB coverage.
3. Choose one that is PABA-free, PABA stains clothing and some people are allergic.
4. If you are swimming or sweating choose one that is water resistant, but you will still need to re-apply as directed on bottle.
5. Choose one that you like so you will be more inclined to use it!
6. Apply it generously, its worth it!
7. Apply your sunscreen ahead of time so that it has time to take effect before you hit the sun.
8. Make sure you cover every spot….don’t forget the tops of you feet or your ears!
9. Remember that the sun us at its peak from 10am-4pm so those are the best times to do something inside.
