Prevention.
The warmth of the sun on our skin may be a welcoming feeling, being in the sun also means taking a few extra precautions.What you may not know about sun protection:
- Sunscreen should be 15 SPF or more
- You should wear sunscreen even on cloudy days
- Sunscreen won't protect you all day, reapply often
- Water and towel drying may remove sunscreen - always re-apply after you get out of the water and after you towel dry
- The sun's rays are most intense from 10 AM - 4 PM, avoid the sun at these times if you can
- Your eyes need protection too - wear sunglasses with 99-100% absorption
