August is Summer Sun Safety Month. During the summer, people spend more time outdoors, so it is important to be aware of how to protect your skin from too much sun exposure.

• Shade: When possible, reduce your risk of sun damage and skin cancer by being in shade.
• Sunscreen: You should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15 (higher SPF numbers offer better protection).
• Hats: A wide-brimmed hat helps protect your face, ears, head, and neck.
• Sunglasses: Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection.

Agosto es el Mes de la Seguridad Solar en verano. Durante el verano, la gente pasa más tiempo al aire libre, por lo que es importante ser consciente de cómo proteger la piel de una exposición excesiva al sol.

• A la sombra: Cuando sea posible, reduzca el riesgo de sufrir daños solares y cáncer de piel poniéndose a la sombra.
• Protector solar: Debe utilizar un protector solar de amplio espectro con un FPS (factor de protección solar) de al menos 15 (los números de FPS más altos ofrecen mejor protección).
• Sombreros: un sombrero de ala ancha ayuda a proteger la cara, las orejas, la cabeza y el cuello.
• Gafas de sol: Las gafas de sol que bloquean tanto los rayos UVA como los UVB ofrecen la mejor protección.
