Sun Protection Tips

Summer is officially starting soon and with the beautiful hot days sun safety protection comes to mind. Here is a great list of some Top 10 Sun Safety Tips for you and your family!

Seek the shade, especially during the sun’s peak hours (10:00am – 2:00pm)
Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher (preferably with natural/organic ingredients).
Cover up with clothing, especially a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Avoid tanning parlors and artificial tanning devices.
Keep newborns out of the sun.
Teach children good sun-protective practices.
Examine your skin from head to toe once every month.
Have a professional examination annually.
Avoid tanning and especially – do not burn! (One blistering sunburn doubles your risk for skin cancer.)
Wear protective clothing like UV Skinz during water play!

UV Skinz is a company that carries high quality sun protection swim wear. In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month they are sending a FREE baby swim shirt with every order placed on their website during the Month of May! Hurry up an order before the end of the month and get ready for the summer! Remember to protect yourself and your loved ones and don’t forget to always have FUN!

I love the hot weather but I am so fair skinned that I worry about burning. I make sure I use sunscreen always and protective clothing when on the golf course…your tips are great and well worth noting. I still am always amazed when I hear about people going to tanning salons…

I had no idea that all it took was 1 burn to double chances for cancer! That’s crazy! I need to buy new sunscreen this year still.
