Safety in the Sun

MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan --Sunburns significantly increase one's lifetime risk of developing skin cancer, especially for children. Generously apply sunscreen: about one ounce to cover all exposed skin 20 minutes before going outside. Sunscreen should have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 and provide protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating. Seek shade when possible and remember that the sun’s UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. (U.S. Air Force Illustration/Staff Sgt.April Quintanilla/Released)
