 | Cover All the Bases
Apply sunscreen liberally and evenly over all exposed skin including your ears, neck, shoulders, and scalp. |
 | Wear Sunglasses Outside
Sunglasses should be worn whenever outside, especially in early afternoon and at higher altitudes where UV light is more intense. Make sure they block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. |
 | Cover Up
In addition to your sunglasses, wear dark-colored, tightly woven clothing, along with a wide-brimmed hat. Stay in the shade whenever possible and avoid exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. |
 | Reapply, Reapply, Reapply
Apply another coat of sunscreen as needed, especially after swimming, perspiring, vigorous activity or toweling off. |
 | Don’t Be Fooled by Clouds
The sun’s rays can pass through haze and thin clouds. Sun damage to eyes and skin can occur anytime during the year, not just in the summertime. |
