clothing, including a wide- brimmed hat, long sleeves, and pants or leggings. • A s a last resort, and after
testing on a small patch of skin, apply broad-spectrum SPF30+ sunscreen to areas that cannot be otherwise protected, selecting products that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. • R emember that UV peaks in June and can be surprisingly high on cool spring days.
