Protect yourself from UV radiation

How can we protect ourselves from UV radiation?

Here are a few ways that we can protect ourselves from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

  • Wearing sunglasses when out in the sun can help protect our eyes from harmful UV radiation. Look for sunglasses that block 99% of UV rays.

 

 

  • Wearing a wide brimmed hat can protect your face and neck from UV radiation.

 

 

  • Wearing sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 can protect your skin from UV radiation. SPF means sun protection factor.
