Make sure your day includes sun protection for your skin²

Despite the known dangers, you can still have fun in the sun if you cover up, slather on sunscreen and are smart about how long you stay in the sun.²

• Always apply water-resistant sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30 that provides broadspectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays. Reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.²
• Wear protective clothing, including wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses. Some manufacturers today include an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating number on labels that indicates how much of the sun’s UV rays are absorbed by the product.³
• Be careful around water, snow and sand, as they reflect the sun’s damaging rays, increasing your risk of sunburn.²
• If your shadow is shorter than you are…seek shade! (usually between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.)²

It is essential that you protect against UV rays with daily use of a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Ask your dermatologist what ingredients to look for in a sunscreen.
