August is Summer Sun Safety Month, an annual observance dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and promoting sun protection habits.

Key Sun Safety Tips:
🔆 Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher (SPF 30+ is widely recommended) 20 minutes before going out, and reapply every two hours.
🔆 Cover Up: Wear tightly woven, loose-fitting long sleeves and pants, alongside a wide-brimmed hat to shield your face, ears, and neck.
🔆 Protect Eyes: Put on sunglasses that block at least 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
🔆 Seek Shade: Rest under trees, umbrellas, or canopies, especially during peak UV radiation hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
🔆 Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent heat-related illness during outdoor activities
