This #UVSafetyMonth, protecting your skin is always important. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 helps protect against UVA and UVB rays.

Sunscreen is one of the many ways to protect yourself from the sun. Others include limiting time in sun between 10am – 2pm and wearing protective clothing like hats and sunglasses. More at: https://t.co/1a858WMzgx
