Summer Safety Tips
Summer time is here (hallelujah!), but so are the accidents that come with it. As a Mom, I'm now more aware about the cautions of sweet summertime and more apt to try and curtail any injuries.
Here are a few safety tips to a fun, non-injury-filled summer.
Sun Safety
This one is SO important. And, I have to admit, sometime I forget myself. Regardless of age and skin type (whether or not you burn easily), the American Academy of Dermatology recommends that everyone, adults and kids alike, apply a water-resistant sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays every day of the year. Choose a sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 and apply it 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. Sunscreen should be applied at least every two hours and after swimming or vigorous activity. Our Sales Manager Traci got a pretty serious sunburn this past weekend from being out in the sun for only 30 minutes without sunscreen. Trust me, you don't want to end up like Traci! See for yourself!
I hope that these tips are helpful and that everyone has a great summer!
