Did you know that about 1 in 5 adults will get skin cancer in their lifetime?
Here are some tips to help keep you and your family sun-safe:
Wear protective clothing when going outside.
Always wear sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and reapply every 2 hours.
Babies under 6 months should be kept out of direct sunlight, however, if there is no way to avoid sun exposure, a small amount of sunscreen can be applied, but remember that it needs 30 minutes to be effective.
Make sure the sunscreen you use has “broad spectrum” written on the label to ensure protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Wear wide-brimmed hats.
Find a shady place, especially if you and your family are outside between 10 am-4 pm (the sun produces the most powerful rays during this time).
