12 Use sunscreen. Avoid sunlamps and tanning booths. The SunWise School Program Guide Wrap-around sunglasses provide the most protection. Tightly woven, loose fitting clothes will provide additional protection from the sun. ✔ Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15+ liberally 20 minutes before going outside and reapply every 2 hours, or after working, swimming, playing, or exercising outdoors. ✔ The light source from sunbeds and sun lamps damages the skin and unprotected eyes and is best avoided entirely. Remember, everyday exposure counts! You don’t have to be actively sunbathing to get a damaging dose of the sun—take care even when having lunch outside, going on school field trips, taking part in after-school activities, or participating in sports programs. Inform your friends and family about these simple sun safety steps. You could save a life! “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” —Benjamin Franklin routine! Each time you go out in the sun, apply an ounce of sunscreen as part of your sun-protection
