Today is June 21st, officially the first day of summer, so it is only appropriate that I write about proper sun protection today. Over the past few months I’ve actually been gathering online articles and information about sun protection to share with my readers so that everyone can have a sun safe summer.
Below is a list of great resources (online articles and videos) to teach you everything you need to know about proper sun protection:
- The Today Show had a great segment on sun protection called Sun and Skin Myths Debunked.
- Check out The Skin Cancer Foundation Channel on YouTube for sun protection and skin cancer information.
- The Skin Cancer Foundation also has an online school to teach you everything you need to know about sun safety.
- WebMD has published helpful and informative articles about sunscreen: Shedding Light on 7 Sunscreen Myths and Sunscreen: Are You Really Covered?
- And Allure offers up 11 Sun Protection Tips From the Country’s Best Dermatologists
Here’s to sun safe summer everyone!
This is a great resource page! I’ve honestly never seen The Skin Cancer Foundation’s online school, and it really does teach you the facts in an interesting, fun way. To help stay sun safe, I cover my kids in 50, and make sure they wear protective clip on sunglasses over their glasses. Thanks for the tips!
I’m a “hat-a-holic” always in search of the perfect hat to protect my face from the sun that’s not goofy looking and this is it. I use it for the beach and am able to lean back and read in my chair without bending the brim. The brim stays put but is flexible to pack away and also withstand the wind. I also am able to put my hair up in the top without it making the brim too tight and without having a huge lump on top of my head. I plan to buy another in black to match my black bathing suits. I’m 45 and everyone says I look 35 and I attribute that to wearing hats in the sun for gardening, the beach, the lake or ANYTHING outdoors. You will love this hat – I promise!!!
