Crafting on the patio because it has been so nice out.

It's getting hot outside. It is important to protect your skin. You know you should wear a hat when you’re outdoors. But some types offer more protection from the sun’s rays than others. Case in point: Skip baseball caps. They shade only a small amount of skin. Instead, switch to a brimmed sun hat. Choose one made of tightly woven fabric, like canvas. (The sun’s rays can pass through a straw hat.) The darker your hat, the more protection you may get.

2. Put on sunscreen like a pro. Some spots on the body are easy to overlook, like the tops of the feet. Use a sunscreen marked “broad spectrum.” and with an SPF 50 or higher. Before you head outside, make sure you’ve covered your whole body. Include these easy-to-miss spots:
Lips
Ears
Scalp/hairline (If you don’t want to use sunscreen on your scalp, wear a hat instead)
Eyelids
Hands
The area between the inner corner of your eye and the bridge of your nose
We care about you. A nasty sunburn is no fun. Relief can take days or even weeks and can do more damage as you age. Stay safe friends
