        • Wear protective clothing, long sleeved shirts, long pants, wide-brimmed hats, umbrellas.
        • Use sunscreens regularly!
        • Avoid tanning beds and tan-accelerating agents.
        • Beware of reflective surfaces such as sand, water, and concrete which can reflect more that half the sun’s rays onto your skin. Sitting under the shade does not guarantee protection from sunburn.
        • Don’t forget to wear sunscreen on overcast days. The sun’s rays are as damaging to your skin on cloudy days as they are on sunny days.
        • Examine your skin frequently for new skin growth or changes in existing moles, freckles, bumps and birthmarks.
