It takes more than sunscreen to prevent sunburns! Make sure you have your Melanoma PPE Kit packed with everything you need to be sun safe year round!
PREVENTION is key when it comes to melanoma. Make sure these items are in your Melanoma PPE Kit:
Sunscreen
Sunscreen should be applied every day, regardless of the amount of sun. The sunscreen should be:
• Broad spectrum • SPF 30 or higher
• Applied at least 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapplied every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating, using one ounce (a golf ball size amount) with each application
Protective Clothing
In addition to sunscreen, whenever spending a lot of time outdoors, be sure to wear: • Long-sleeved shirt • Pants • Wide-brimmed hat • Sunglasses
Seek Shade
The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. When it’s not possible to stay in the shade think about using an umbrella.
