Sunburns can happen to anyone, so it is important to take prevention seriously. Too much unprotected exposure to the sun’s rays can cause skin and eye damage, immune system suppression, and skin cancer. Here are a few ways to protect yourself.
Cover up and wear high-SPF or tightly woven clothing that blocks out sunlight.
Wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15, and reapply periodically.
Wear a hat that protects the neck, ears, eyes, forehead, nose and scalp.
