Sun Safety Tips
Go ahead, catch some rays. But please follow these simple precautions:
- Use a sunscreen with an SPF factor of 15 or higher, and one that will block both UV-A and UV-B rays. Apply evenly to all exposed areas 20 minutes before you go out. Reapply every 2 hours, or after each swim.
- Make sure that your sun protection stands up to your sport. For beach volleyball, the key is to avoid greasy lotions that will lead to the uncomfortable grittiness of sand sticking to sunscreened skin.
- UV light scatters and bounces, so you will get significant ultraviolet exposure even when you are moving around. The key is to apply sunscreen and extra protection to all areas, especially ones you can’t see, like your scalp and the nape of your neck.
- Remember that water and shade may feel cool but are still zones of high ultraviolet radiation.
- Don’t forget to protect your eyes. Good UV-blocking sunglasses or contact lenses can vastly reduce your risk of developing eye disorders.
