- Wear a protective wide-brimmed hat to shade your head and shoulders. Wear wrap-around sunglasses to protect your eyes.
- Do not use tanning beds.
- Apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher whenever you’re outdoors. To achieve adequate UV protection you should use products that provide broad-spectrum protection, which means protection against both UVB and UVA rays.
- Reapply sunscreen after swimming, perspiring, and toweling off.
- Wear protective loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
- Your face is one of the most sun-sensitive parts of the body. Protect it with items like a Sundana or Sunthing.
- The sun is weakest before 10 am and after 5 pm, so when at all possible, plan outdoor activities then.
- Stay in the shade—particularly around mid-day.
- Wear a pair of polarized sunglasses.
