Throw (open) your own shade
We just lived through the hottest summer in recorded history, leaving millions seeking more protection from the sun’s damaging rays. While sunscreens and sensible sun exposure habits help, that’s not the whole story. Consumer Reports found that one-third of SPFs don’t even work. Now you can get an added layer of protection with the Opt-Out Sun SHADE STICK. In four colors – blue, navy, hunter green and red – the 43” Opt-Out Sun Shade Stck features +50UPF for maximum sun protection.
Sensible Sun Safety
Most people are not aware that skin cancer, while largely preventable, is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed annually. By following some simple steps, you can still enjoy your time in the sun and protect yourself from overexposure. — USEPA
While some exposure to sunlight can be enjoyable, too much can be dangerous. Overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can result in a painful sunburn. It can also lead to more serious health problems, including skin cancer, premature aging of the skin, cataracts and other eye damage, and immune system suppression. Children are particularly at risk.
