Instructions

• STEP 1: Avoid exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., when sunlight is
most direct and intense.
• STEP 2: Use a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. The SPF
(sun protection factor) should be at least 15. If you will be going in the water,
choose a waterproof brand.
• STEP 3: Apply sunscreen liberally to all exposed parts of the body, including the
lips, ears, nose, neck, hands, feet, eyelids and scalp, at least 15 minutes before
going outside.
• STEP 4: Reapply sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours - more frequently if you'll be
hopping in and out of the water.
• STEP 5: Put on a hat with at least a 3-inch brim all around.
• STEP 6: Wear sunglasses that block 100 percent of UVA and UBA rays.

Tips & Warnings

• If you spend time in the sun, you should check your skin regularly for signs of
cancer or precancerous conditions. Call your doctor if you find changes in
birthmarks or moles, or if you have a sore that does not heal.
• Sunscreen should not be used on babies younger than six months. Cover babies
with hats, clothing, umbrellas or other shade.
• Some people are sensitive to PABA, an ingredient often used in sunscreens.
PABA-free varieties are available.
