Sun Safety Tips

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

With Dermatologist Dr. Miki Garcia……

PROTECT YOUR SKIN EVERY DAY!!

*Seek shade when possible

*Avoid mid-day sun, especially between 10am – 2pm.

*Remember to wear sun-protective clothing such as long-sleeved clothing, wide-brimmed hat & sunglasses.

*Apply sunscreen to all exposed skin.

*Sunscreen should be broad-spectrum, water-resistant with SPF at least 30.

*You will need one ounce of sunscreen (shot glass) to cover exposed areas of body.

*Apply sunscreen 15 -30 minutes before going outdoors.

*Apply lip balm or lipstick with sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

*Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating heavily.

*On cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays can pass through the clouds.

*Use extra caution near water and sand since they reflect UV rays and can increase chances of sunburn.

*Avoid tanning beds.

Please remember everyone has different needs and abilities. Work hard to figure out what works best for you with your physician.

Take care!
