Please remember to wear your sunscreen while outside.
SPF 30 or higher applied 20 minutes prior to going outside.
Reapply at least every 2 hours but if you are in the water or sweating reapply sooner.
Sun protective clothing is also great.
Sunglasses protect your eyes from sun damage so remember those as well.
If you or your child does become sunburned, drink lots of fluids. Tylenol or motrin can help with the pain as well.
If you have blisters, try not to pop them .

Sunscreen can help protect the skin from sunburn and some skin cancers but only if used correctly. Keep in mind that sunscreen should be used for sun protection, not as a reason to stay in the sun longer.
