 Sun Safety

Protect Yourself and Your Family All Year Round

  1. Do not sunbathe.
  2. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure, especially between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the peak hours for harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  3. When outdoors, use sunscreens rated SPF 15 or higher.  Apply them liberally, uniformly, and frequently.
  4. When exposed to sunlight, wear protective clothing such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts, broad-brimmed hats, and UV-protective sunglasses.
  5. Stay away from artificial tanning devices.
  6. Teach your children good sun protection habits at an early age: The damage that leads to adult skin cancers starts in childhood.
  7. Examine your skin head to toe at least once every three months.
