June 6th - 12th is Sun Safety Week
Sun Safety Alliance wants to remind you to
"Block the Sun, Not the Fun!" With so many choices in sunscreens today, it may seem difficult to decide what is best for you.
TOP 5 things to remember when choosing a sunscreen: -
make sure it has "broad-spectrum" coverage to fight both harmful UVA and UVB rays
- SPF 30 or higher
- ingredients should include zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or iron oxide These are natural sunscreen minerals that deflect the UV radiation.
- choose a sensitive skin formula if you are prone to breakouts
- Remember to re-apply every 2 hours. Especially if you are sweating or swimming.
