Would you like to tell a loved one that you miss them? Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor for most skin cancers. Sunlight and tanning lamps/bed are the main source of Have you been meaning to tell a staff member how much you UV rays. People who get a lot of UV exposure from these sources are at greater risk for skin cancer. Even though UV rays make up only appreciate their efforts during this time of uncertainty? a very small portion of the sun’s rays, they are the main cause of the sun’s damaging effects on the skin.

Sometimes cloud cover blocks some UV from the sun and lowers UV exposure, while some types of clouds can reflect UV and can increase UV exposure. What is important to know is that UV rays can get through, even on a cloudy day.

• Reflection off surfaces: UV rays can bounce off surfaces like water, sand, snow, pavement, or grass, leading to an increase in UV exposure.

The amount of UV exposure a person gets depends on the strength of the rays, the length of time the skin is exposed, and whether the skin is protected with clothing or sunscreen.

Before you head outdoors, be sure you protect yourself against the damaging effects of the sun. The sunscreen should be a water- resistant, broad-spectrum product that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with an SPF or sun protection factor of 30 or higher. It should be applied before you get dressed, so you can be sure that you haven’t missed any spots. Lip balm with an SPF at least 30 should also be used, and reapplied after eating.
