Sun Protection
Sunburn and other sun-related adverse health effects are largely preventable when sun protection is practiced early and consistently. Despite the fact that sun tanning and burning increase risk to your skin, most people do not protect themselves from the sun’s damaging rays. Attitude barriers to sun protection include the belief that it is only necessary to wear sunscreen at the pool or beach, and some people even believe that you can only get sunburned in the summer while this is not the case. Here are some very important tips for sun protection:
• Limit sun exposure during the hours when the sun’s rays are the strongest, 10am - 4pm. If your shadow is shorter than you, the sun is at its highest intensity.
• Refer to the daily UV index when planning outdoor events to minimize overexposure.
• Seek shade whenever possible. Trees offer 60 percent blockage from the sun’s rays.
• Wear a hat and sunglasses. Sunglasses should protect your eyes from any damage that can be associated with the sun and hats are the best way to minimize exposure to the face, ears, and neck.
• Use broad-spectrum sun screens whose active ingredients block the sun’s rays.
• Avoid tanning salons. Artificial UV radiation is just as bad for your skin as sunlight.
• Limit exposure to the reflective surfaces like snow and water.
• It is important to keep newborns out of the sun altogether.
Whether you're working or playing, it's important that you are aware of the dangers these activities pose when you are outside in the sun.
