Check out this link for some facts and tips on how to practice sun safety for you and your family this summer! 🏖️☀️

Sun Safety Unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause damage to the skin, eyes, and immune system.

SPF protects against ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can damage skin even on cloudy days. UVA rays can age skin, cause wrinkles & spots, & can pass through window glass. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburn and can be blocked by window glass.

Understanding your sunscreen is essential for good sun protection! 🌞🧴 Make sure you choose the right SPF (30 and above), apply it correctly, and reapply often. Stay safe & stay protected!

🌡️🔥 Don't let the heat take a toll on your health! ☀️🥵 Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are serious risks during summer. Spread awareness about heat-related illnesses and help keep everyone safe!
