• Seek shade especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

• Wear UV-absorbing clothing, swimsuits and rash guards with UPF of 30+.

• Thirty minutes before you head out, apply water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+. Reapply often.

• Keep babies under 6 months out of the sun. Apply sunscreen to older kids.
