Summertime in Wood Buffalo is one of the most beautiful and active times of the year! As we get excited for this fun-filled season, here are a few safety tips to keep in mind!!
|
|
- Stay in the shade and out of the hot sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- If you are in the sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear long pants, long sleeves and a hat with a wide brim to protect your skin from sunburn.
- Wear sunglasses that provide UVA and UVB protection.
- Use a sunscreen lotion or cream that is SPF 15 or more. SPF means Sun Protection Factor.
- Use a sunscreen that says "broad-spectrum" on the label. It will screen out most of the UVA and UVB rays.
- Put sunscreen on your skin 20 minutes before you go out and reapply 20 minutes after being out in the sun to ensure even application of the product and better protection.
- Don't forget your lips, ears and nose. These parts of your body burn easily.
- Sunscreen gets washed off by water and sweat. So, put more sunscreen on after you go swimming or if you are sweating.
