Summer FUN is here!
Enjoy, but be SUN SMART

 

Greetings!

 

Summer weather is finally here.   While the sun shine feels wonderful, it's time to remember how to safely enjoy these sunny warm days.

 1. Minimize sun exposure when the sun is highest in the sky (this is when the UV Rays are the strongest);

2. Wear the best available UV protective clothing and accessories - don't forget your hat, sunglasses, and cover up;

3. Properly use the best available sun screen (at least an SPF of 15 with UVA/UVB protection).  

Enjoy all that summer has to offer, but don't forget to live sun smart and skin safe!   For more information and tips on how to be skin safe see our website, click here.

Happy Summer,
