- Shade – reduce your risk of skin damage by seeking shade under an umbrella, tree or other shelter regularly.
- Clothing – dry, darker clothes made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection.
- Hats – wear a hat with a brim all the way around that shades your face, ears and the back of your neck.
- Sunglasses – choose sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays for the best protection.
- Sunscreen – put on broad spectrum sunscreen (SPF 15+) before you go outside & reapply frequently.
