Did you know July is UV Safety Awareness Month? โ๏ธ
Which means itโs the perfect time to take a few extra steps to protect your skin and stay safe while enjoying everything summer has to offer. With South Georgiaโs intense sunshine and high temperatures, a little prevention can go a long way!
๐งด Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and reapply every two hours (or more often if youโre swimming or sweating)
๐งข Wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses when spending time outdoors
๐ณ Seek shade whenever possible, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sunโs rays are strongest
๐ง Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, even if you donโt feel thirsty
Taking care of your skin today can help protect your health for years to come. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy a safe South Georgia summer! โ๏ธ๐
