☀️ July is UV Safety Month! Protect Your Skin All Summer Long 🧴🕶️
Spending time outdoors is a great way to enjoy the summer, but it’s important to protect yourself and your family from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
💛 Simple Ways to Stay Safe:

🧴 Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours—or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
👒 Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses with UV protection, and lightweight clothing that covers your skin.
🌳 Seek shade whenever possible, especially between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, when the sun’s rays are strongest.
💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
👶 Keep babies younger than 6 months out of direct sunlight whenever possible.
