Sun Protection Tips:
Apply Sunscreen Generously
Your basic common sense skin care message is: Generously apply sunscreen to all exposed skin using a SPF of at least 15 that provides broad-spectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Reapply every 80 minutes, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
Seek Shade
Sunscreen is not all you need to stay safe. Although it is very important to use a natural sunscreen, also seek shade whenever appropriate. Remember to seek shade between the hours of 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. This is when the sun’s UV rays are strongest. Here’s a shadow rule for when you are in the sun: Look for Your Shadow. No Shadow, Seek Shade!
Watch for the UV Index
While many sunscreens provide some UVA protection, it is important to watch the UV Index, which provides important information to help you plan your skin care and outdoor activities. The UV Index was developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and EPA, and is issued daily in cities across the United States.Some safe ingredients found in broad-spectrum sunscreens include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These ingredients reflect the sun to prevent overexposure to the sun by sitting on top of the skin and not by being absorbed.
Wear Protective Clothing and Have an Annual Skin Exam
Cover up with clothing: wear a broad-brimmed hat, UV-blocking sunglasses, a long-sleeved shirt and pants whenever possible. Be sure to give yourself a self-exam and examine your children. Schedule a yearly professional skin care evaluation for the entire family. Early detection of melanoma can save your life. Carefully examine ALL of your skin once a month. A new or changing mole in an adult should be evaluated by a dermatologist.
Use Caution near Water, Sand and Snow
Water, sand and snow reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn.
Avoid Sun Tanning and Tanning Beds
Don’t fret! You can still have a healthy glow with a little bit of sun each day and get your vitamin D naturally and safely. But too much UV light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. So if you want to look tan at the beach, you may want to consider using a natural self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it.
