It is important for children to develop good sun protection habits for themselves. Teach kids to stay out of the sun when their shadow is shorter than they are. Peak times for solar radiation are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Keep babies under six months old out of the sun completely. And don't be fooled, overcast and cloudy days may be cooler, but the clouds don't provide shade from ultraviolet rays. A full 80% of UV rays still penetrate on cloudy days.

Apply sunscreen to cool, dry skin. It takes up to 30 minutes for sunscreen to dry and adhere properly to the skin, so apply liberally before you venture outdoors and be careful it doesn't rub off on furniture and clothing before it's dry. |

Be patient! Make sure you apply plenty of sunscreen in an even generous layer. Applying sunscreen too thin, haphazardly, or in small amounts over large areas will not provide coverage enough to guarantee protection. Make sure that you can always feel a layer of sunscreen between your hand and skin as you are applying sunscreen. |

Apply sunscreen to all areas of the body that are exposed to the sun, even the hands. Waterproof means the sunscreen will stay on your skin for 80 minutes while immersed in water. Sweating heavily, toweling off, or being in the water for over 80 minutes will reduce the sunscreen's effectiveness. Be sure to reapply sunscreen after swimming, toweling off, or sweating heavily. People with sensitive and or lighter skin are more at risk for skin cancer. In addition to wearing sunscreen light skinned people should wear long sleeve shirts, wide brim hats and avoid the peak sun hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. |
