Summer Protection

When time spent in the sun cannot be avoided, having a good understanding of sunscreen protection is crucial. Sunscreens of at least SPF 30 are recommended and should be labeled broad spectrum to protect against both UV-A (aging) & UV-B (burning) rays. Sunscreens with a higher SPF rating may block slightly more UV rays, but remember no sunscreen can offer 100% protection. Sunscreen should be applied to clean, dry skin 15 to 20 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every two to three hours. Additionally the proper amount of sunscreen for an adult full-body application is two to three tablespoons—or about one shot glass full.

Make sure to cover all areas of exposed skin including the face, arms, top of the head and behind the ears. Also Summer Protection against mosquitoes, flies, ticks etc.
