Summer tip from our PCN providers: Don’t skip the sunscreen! ☀️
Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days; it’s an important part of your daily routine, especially in the summer. Whether you’re walking the dog, gardening, or running errands, UV rays can damage your skin.
👩⚕️ PCN-approved tips:
✔️ Choose broad-spectrum: Look for SPF 30 or higher with protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
✔️ Apply generously: Adults need about 30 mL for full-body coverage (about the size of a golf ball).
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours: Or more often if you’re sweating or swimming.
✔️ Don’t forget the details: Ears, neck, tops of feet and the backs of hands are often missed.
Talk to your PCN provider if you have sensitive skin or are taking medications that increase sun sensitivity.
Protect your skin now and thank yourself later. ☀️
