It's summer and we're excited about playing in the sun! Don't forget that too much sun can be harmful to your skin. Here are some tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Ultraviolet (UV) rays are an invisible form of radiation. They can penetrate
your skin and damage your skin cells. Sunburns are a sign of skin damage.
Suntans aren't healthy, either. They appear after the sun's rays have already
killed some cells and damaged others. UV rays can cause skin damage during any
season or at any temperature. They can also cause eye problems, wrinkles, skin
spots, and skin cancer.
To protect yourself
* Stay out of the sun when it is strongest (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.)
* Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher
* Wear protective clothing
* Wear wraparound sunglasses that provide 100 percent UV ray protection
* Avoid sunlamps and tanning beds
Check your skin regularly for changes in the size, shape, color or feel of
birthmarks, moles and spots. Such changes are a sign of skin cancer.
So, don't put yourself in danger! For the month of June, Unicity is featuring the E International Sun Care products! Stock up for you and your family and enjoy playing in the sun all summer long!
