As temperatures across the country continue to rise, it is important to make sure that you are taking the proper precautions to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun. Here are a few precautionary steps you can take before exposing yourself to the sun:

-Always apply sunscreen (at least 30 minutes prior to sun exposure & every couple hours thereafter)
        -Use 30 SPF or higher
-Wear clothing that covers as much skin as possible (lightweight clothing is a good way to stay cool while protecting yourself from the sun)
-Avoid sun exposure when the sun is at its strongest (11am - 2pm)
-Use sunglasses with UV protection
-When possible, try to find a shady spot where you can remove yourself from the sun's rays.
-Wear a hat
