😎Use the following tips to practice sun safety this summer!

Apply Sunscreen Generously: Use about an ounce to cover all exposed skin.

Reapply Sunscreen Regularly: Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.

Seek Shade: When the sun is at its strongest (10 am to 4 pm), try to stay in the shade.

Wear Protective Clothing: Long-sleeved shirts, pants, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses can provide additional protection.

Be Mindful of Reflection: Water, sand, and snow can reflect and intensify UV rays, so take extra precautions in these environments.

Recommended Minimum SPF: 30

Dermatologists recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. This level of SPF blocks up to 97% of UVB rays. Higher SPFs provide slightly more protection, but no sunscreen can block 100% of UV rays. The key is to apply it generously and reapply every two hours – or more often if swimming or sweating.

☀️Discover the benefits of daily sun protection this UV Safety Awareness month!

Preventing Skin Cancer: Regular use of sun protection can significantly reduce the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, the most dangerous form.

Reducing Signs of Aging: Sun exposure is a leading cause of premature aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and sun and age spots. Protecting your skin helps maintain a youthful appearance.

Avoiding Sunburn: Sunburns cause immediate discomfort and increase the risk of long-term skin damage and skin cancer.

We all know sunscreen is important, but do you really understand why it's essential?

Here's the breakdown:

☀️ Our skin needs a shield: It works hard to protect us from harmful UV rays from the sun.
☀️ Sunscreen is our armor: It blocks these damaging rays, preventing sunburn and long-term damage.
☀️ Sun damage doesn't discriminate: Cloudy days? UV rays are still present, leading to:
☀️ Skin cancer: The most serious consequence.
☀️ Discoloration: Uneven skin tone and sunspots.
☀️ Wrinkles: Premature aging? No thanks!

The simplest solution? Make sunscreen a daily habit! Apply it generously in the morning, and reapply throughout the day.
