A couple of quick facts for you today. Getting sunburned 5 times results in a dramatically increased risk for skin cancer. Not 5 times per week, not 5 times per month, not 5 times per summer but 5 times in your life.
Wearing a hat is great but that only controls the amount of sun you get hit with from directly overhead. Reflected sun is a greater danger.
And did you know that SPF 30 blocks 97% of the UVB rays? You don't really benefit from higher SPF ratings., SPF 50 has 1% more blocking power.
Knowledge is power. Protect yourself. Use broadband sunscreen.
