July is UV Safety Month
In honor of UV Safety Month, Lenco Lab has some tips to keep the sun fun:
- For sunbathing, remember that sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours or if you swim or perspire. Make sure it's not expired.
- UV can damage the eyes, so make sure you get sunglasses that offer both UVA and UVB protection.
- If you're sensitive to sun -- for instance, people with fair skin, or who take certain medications -- be extra careful about using sunscreen whenever you spend time outside.
- A hat with a brim that goes all the way around and shades your ears and the back of your neck provides the most protection.
With these tips summer will produce happy memories, not sad outcomes.
