Invest in Your Assets with Sunscreen!
While we are in the midst of the dog days of summer, we would like to remind you to apply your sunscreen! July is UV awareness month. Don't forget to apply (and re-apply) sunscreen if you are going to be outdoors or near windows. Sunscreen and effective sun protection habits can protect you from painful burns in the short-term and skin cancers (the most common type of cancer in the U.S) in the long-term. UV Rays effect more than just the skin, here is a break down of what parts of your body are most affected and what you can do to prevent this:
Head: Sun hats, baseball caps, or scarves
Eyes: Sun glasses or other forms of eye protection
Skin: Sunscreen, SPF clothing, or umbrellas
Provided below is a helpful infographic on a guide to proper sunscreen usage:
By taking the proper precautions, you can still enjoy the summer heat with family and friends. If you are having any problems after being in the sun, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider.
