Sunscreen Protection for "Safer Fun in the Sun"

- AVOID SUN BETWEEN 10:00AM AND 4:00PM.
Sunscreen is not a cure, it is an aid.
- USE SUNSCREENS WHICH ARE SPF OF 30 OR HIGHER AND HAVE BROAD UVA PROTECTION
Sunscreens of higher SPF should be used by those who are particularly sun sensitive.
- APPLY SUNSCREEN 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE SUN EXPOSURE.
Apply correctly. Sunscreen should be re-applied every 2 hours.
- SUNSCREENS ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH
Use hats and glasses, especially in bright light, and for reflected light from water, sand, and snow..
- PROTECT LIPS TOO.
- AVOID SUNBURN, SUNLAMPS, AND TANNING PARLORS.
- EXAMINE YOUR SKIN ON A REGULAR BASIS.
