5 "S"s for Sun Safety — Acme Corp Wellness

SELECT a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.
1. Apply 1 ounce (amount to fill a shot glass) to exposed skin areas.
2. Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming.
SLIP on lightweight clothing to cover exposed skin areas. A wet T-shirt offers much less UV protection than a dry one. Or, wear clothing with sunscreen protection built in.
SIT under an umbrella or in the shade especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV light from the sun is the strongest.
SLIDE on sunglasses that block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
STAY hydrated. Drink plenty of water.
