Sunstuff Advice Tips

1. Avoid the sun when it is at its highest (usually between 11am-3pm)
   This is when the sun's UVA and UVB rays are strongest.

2. Take care not to burn
   Going red just isn't cool and increases your skin cancer risk!

3. Use shade whenever possible: trees and parasols
   Trees and parasols are great for helping protect you from the sun's rays.

4. Take extra care of babies' and children's delicate skin
   A child's skin is more easily damaged than an adult's. Babies should always be shaded from the sun.

5. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection, preferably wraparound.
   It is important to invest in a pair of sunglasses with UV protection and a hat to help protect your face, neck and eyes.

6. Cover up with cool, tightly woven clothing: long sleeves, trousers and skirts
   Wearing clothes made of closely woven material will help give you more protection, which is necessary no matter who you are.

7. Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen (SPF15 or higher)
   Remember to re-apply your sunscreen often, especially after being in the water or playing sports. And remember stay out of the sun during the mid-day hours (11am-3pm).

8. Check your skin regularly
   Report any unusual changes to your doctor without delay.
