Most of us like to be out soaking up the sun. That’s why sunscreen and other safety measures are key to protecting your skin. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and look for broad spectrum on the label, which means both harmful ultraviolet A and B rays are blocked. And make sure to avoid the use of indoor tanning beds. Don’t let the sun stop you from having fun outside this summer. Put sunscreen on and protect your skin.
