With summer fast approaching, despite the cool temperatures, the Bon Carbo Volunteer Fire Department would like to share some Summer Safety Tips. This week: Sunburn!
Avoiding sunburn is always preferable to treating one. Remember to use sunscreen, and reapply often. If you're wearing light colored clothing, place a layer of sunscreen underneath your clothes before you get dressed-UV rays can penetrate light colored clothing! Trips to the bathroom during your daily activities can give you a chance to reapply sunscreen in these areas.
There are some amazing products on the market today. Consumer reports has an article with recommendations and tips.
If you do get a sunburn, RevolutionHealth has an article with treatment ideas.
Stay safe this summer!
