Here Comes the Sun
  • Wear those shades. Sunglasses that provide 99-100% of UVA and UVB protection greatly reduce sun exposure that can lead to cataracts and other eye damage. Be sure to check the label when buying sunglasses to make sure they have proper UV protection.
  • Lather on the sunscreen. Use a sunscreen with Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15. Apply it liberally to all exposed areas of your body, particularly your ears, face, back and neck. Reapply every 2 hours when working, playing, or exercising outdoors; even waterproof sunscreen can come off when you towel off sweat or water.
