The Friday before Memorial Day is known as ! Protect yourself by using broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen, wearing a hat & sunglasses, and seeking shade when the UV rays are strongest (generally between 10AM & 4PM). These sun-safety habits can help you avoid premature aging, heatstroke, and skin cancer.
p.s., This hat provides some protection. But when you're shopping for the best sun hat, hold it up to the light -- if you can see light through it, your protection will be limited. One suggestion: line the hat with a bandana!
