Guidelines for UV Protection

Despite the fact that sunlight helps us stay healthy by supplying vital minerals like vitamin D, it is sad that the UV it carries has been linked to DNA damage and skin cancer. It’s a common misconception that a tan is harmless, but beware since a burn might be very dangerous.

While it’s not necessary to stay out of the sun, you should adopt sun-safe practices:

  • Make use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher;
  • When outdoors, particularly when swimming, apply sunscreen every two hours;
  • Don’t overlook tricky areas like your back and ears;
  • When possible, wear hats, sunglasses, and clothing that protects you from the sun.
