Simple ways to protect your skin in the sun

Always use sunscreen

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15 to protect against UVA and UVB radiation exposure, which can cause premature aging and skin cancer.

Avoid peak sun

Try not to schedule outdoor activities between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Find some shade

Protect your skin by seeking shade and using sunscreen or protective clothing to reduce risk of skin damage and skin cancer.

Think about your outfit

Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants and skirts to protect from UV rays. Tightly woven fabrics offer the best protection, and darker colors protect more than lighter ones.
