Stay protected while having fun in the sun

Florida summers are known for adventure, but summer temperatures can get brutally hot. So how do you avoid a lobster-like hue this summer while still having fun?

One tip for sunburn prevention is to use sunscreen. The CDC suggests using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 on exposed skin. Do not forget to reapply frequently, and check that expiration date.

For added sun safety, invest in a wide-brim sun hat and beach umbrellas for more coverage. If you’re swimming in reef-heavy areas, consider a sunscreen with ingredients safe for Florida’s beautiful waterways.
