Here are a few tips to stay safe: Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every two hours, and don't forget those easy-to-miss spots like ears and the back of your neck. Wear Sunglasses: Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Seek Shade: Limit direct sun exposure, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM when UV rays are strongest. Cover Up: Wear protective clothing, including hats and long sleeves, to shield your skin. Let's enjoy the sunny days ahead safely and spread the word about UV protection.

UV Safety Awareness Month is here! From July 1 to 31, 2024, let’s raise awareness about the dangers of overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and artificial sources. Remember, the sun is at its peak between 10 am and 4 pm. If you’re outdoors, seek shade or head indoors during these hours. For extended outdoor activities, protect yourself with SPF 30+ sunscreen, a broad-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and breathable clothing. Stay safe! #SkinCancerAwareness #SunSafetyTips #ProtectYourSkin #Stratageotech

July is UV Safety Month, and while fun in the sun is a top priority for most in these fleeting summer months, it's important to remember to do it safely. Always apply a SPF-15 or higher sunscreen that protects against both UV-A and UV-B rays 30 minutes prior to sun exposure and reapply accordingly. Other great options are using protective clothing, avoiding prolonged sun exposure during peak times (10 am to 4 pm), seeking shade when possible and staying hydrated. If you notice any skin changes or concerning moles or spots, contact your primary care provider for a screening.

Even though you're inside a vehicle, harmful UV rays can still penetrate through the windows and cause damage to your skin. Applying sunscreen to exposed areas, such as your face, arms, and hands, can help protect against the sun's rays and reduce the risk of sunburn and skin damage. However, it's important to note that extreme temperatures in a car can affect the effectiveness of sunscreen over time, so storing it in a cool, shaded place is advisable to maintain its potency. Additionally, wearing protective clothing, using window shades or tints, and seeking shade whenever possible are also helpful in minimizing sun exposure while driving. #FairlawnOhio #BathOhio #AkronOhio #MedinaOhio #WellnessTips #DiyLifeHacks #UsefulTips #TipsandTricks #LifeHacksClub #Useful
