Sun-Safe Summer Checklist

The Actinic Shield

Before you go outside

Apply sunscreen SPF 30+ 15 minutes before going out
Use enough: about a shot-glass amount for the whole body, a teaspoon for the face
Put on a wide-brim hat
Wear a shirt with sleeves when you can

Every 2 hours outside

Reapply sunscreen (and after swimming or sweating)
Take a shade break, especially 10am–4pm

Remember

Shade and clothing protect even more than sunscreen alone
Every skin tone needs protection, including darker skin
Cloudy days still have UV
