Info From The Skin Cancer Foundation

This Fourth of July, remember to protect yourself while driving to the beach! The Skin Cancer Foundation reminds you that time spent in the car puts both drivers & passengers at risk for skin cancer & sun damage. UV rays can easily penetrate car windows, so in addition to sunscreen, consider installing UV-protective window film. It can block up to 99% of damaging rays & is a reliable way to reduce your risk.

Daily use of sunscreen can help protect against sunburn, premature aging, & skin cancer. In addition, applying a sunscreen every day can help prevent future sun spots or precancers. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends a liberal application of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every 2 hours, beginning 30 minutes before going outside.
