Here are some tips to help you and your family stay safe in the sun this summer! 1) Check the UV index daily – higher numbers mean more sun protection is needed. 2) Limit your time in the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 3) Seek shade as much as possible. 4) Cover up with tightly woven and loose-fitting clothing, as well as a wide-brimmed hat. 5) Wear sunglasses. 6) Use a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreen of at least SPF 15 or 30, and reapply frequently. 7) Know the early signs of skin cancer.
