We hope you’ll put them to good use this summer whether you’ll be visiting the beach or the pool in the backyard. Let’s get started! 

Top 10 Tips for Sun Protection: 

• Always use sunscreen, even on cloudy days 
• Apply your sunscreen at least 15 to 30 minutes prior to going outside 
• Choose a sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB radiation 
• Reapply your sunscreen every two hours, every hour if you’re swimming or sweating 
• Be cautious around water and sand, these surfaces can actually increase chances of getting a sunburn due to reflection of sun rays
• Keep children covered and babies under 6 months completely covered and in shady areas 
• Limit your sun exposure times during 10 AM and 4 PM 
• If possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants if you’re worried about extreme sunburns 
• Accessorize smartly: sunglasses, hats, etc. 
• Be cautious when it comes to medications and how they could react with the sun (consult your doctor if you are concerned about this)
