Wear protective clothing

Choose clothes with a tight weave that cover your skin. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for added protection. Light colors are better than dark colors, as they reflect the sun’s rays. This can help provide up to 60% of sun protection. Long sleeves, pants and skirts are all great options. Don’t forget your swimwear–look for a fabric that has a UPF rating of 30 or higher.

Use a lip balm with SPF

Protect your lips with a lip balm that has SPF. This will help block UVA and UVB rays and prevent sun damage. Make sure to apply it before going outside. Reapply every few hours if necessary. Also, don’t forget your neck and ears. These are two areas that often get forgotten and can be easily damaged by the sun.
