A tightly woven fabric, such as canvas, works best to protect your skin from UV rays. If you wear a baseball cap, you should also protect your ears and the back of your neck by wearing clothing that covers those areas, using sunscreen with at least SPF 30, or by staying in the shade.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"box\"     >\n<p><span style=\"color: #8b9831;\"><strong>Sunglasses \u2013 Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Sunglasses protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts. They also protect the tender skin around your eyes from sun exposure. Sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays offer the best protection. Thankfully, most sunglasses sold in the United States, regardless of cost, meet this standard.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"box\"     >\n<p><span style=\"color: #8b9831;\"><strong>Sunscreen \u2013 Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\"><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">The sun&#8217;s UV rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes. Put on sunscreen before going outside, even on slightly cloudy or cool days. Reapply every two hours. Sunscreen wears off. Put it on again if you stay out in the sun for more than two hours, and after you swim or do things that make you sweat. <strong>How sunscreen works:<\/strong> Most products work by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering sunlight. They contain chemicals that interact with the skin to protect it from UV rays. All products do not have the same ingredients; if your skin reacts badly to one product, try another one and discuss with your doctor. SPF-Sunscreens are assigned a sun protection factor (SPF) number that rates their effectiveness in blocking UV rays. Higher numbers indicate more protection. You should use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30. <strong>Check the expiration date:<\/strong> Check the sunscreen&#8217;s expiration date. Sunscreen without an expiration date has a shelf life of no more than three years, but its shelf life is shorter if it has been exposed to high temperatures.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"box\"     >\n<p><span style=\"color: #8b9831;\"><strong>Indoor Tanning \u2013 Don\u2019t do it!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\"><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Using a tanning bed, booth, or sunlamp to get tan is called &#8220;indoor tanning.&#8221; Indoor tanning has been linked with skin cancers including melanoma (the deadliest type of skin cancer), squamous cell carcinoma, and cancers of the eye (ocular melanoma). Indoor tanning equipment, (beds, lamps, bulbs, etc.), blasts your body with same UV radiation as the sun \u2013 in some cases, stronger than the sun.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h1 id=\"teacher\"><span style=\"color: #159fc5;\">For Teachers: The SunWise Curriculum<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"color: #8b9831;\"><strong>2 Hours of SunWise Education Reduces Sunburns by 11%.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"box\"     >\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Shade-Foundation-Service-Project.pptx\">Download <\/a>the Shade Foundation Service Project<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li>The Shade Service Project is a PowerPoint Presentation that you and your students can use to implement as a class or community service project.<\/li>\n<li>Please email <a href=\"mailto:programs@shadefoundation.org\">programs@shadefoundation.org<\/a> if you have any questions or would like assistance in implementing our Service Project program.<a href=\"https:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Shade-Foundation-Service-Project.pptx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" itemprop=\"image\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-794 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Shade-Foundation-Service-Project-475x266-300x168.png\" rel='magnific' alt=\"Shade Foundation - Service Project - 475x266\" height=\"168\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Shade-Foundation-Service-Project-475x266-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Shade-Foundation-Service-Project-475x266-250x140.png 250w, http:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Shade-Foundation-Service-Project-475x266.png 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"box\"     >\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"editcontent ui-sortable\" contenteditable=\"true\">\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Schools: <a href=\"https:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Guidelines_for_School_Programs_to_Prevent_Skin_Cancer.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Guidelines for schools<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Teacher Resources:<br \/>\n2-5 years: <a href=\"https:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Early_Ed_Curriculum_2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Early Education Curriculum<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Grades K-8:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.epa.gov\/sunwise\/join-sunwise\" target=\"_blank\">Free SunWise School Toolkit<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shadefoundation.org\/postercontest\" target=\"_blank\">Poster Contest<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Grades 8+: Project Safety<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #8c8c8c;\">Community: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skincancerprevention.org\/programs\/dont-fry-day\/resources\" target=\"_blank\">Don&#8217;t Fry Day<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\t\n\t<section data-menu_id=\"\" data-post_id=\"664\" style=\"\" class=\"homepage-section page-section le le-archivePost \" id=\"sign\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"sectionImage\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/shadefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/third_bg.jpg);
