AVOID SUN BETWEEN 10:00AM AND 4:00PM. Sunscreen is not a cure, it is an aid. |
 |
 |
USE SUNSCREENS WHICH ARE SPF OF 30 OR HIGHER AND HAVE BROAD UVA/UVB PROTECTION Sunscreens of higher SPF should be used by those who are particularly sun sensitive. |
 |
 |
APPLY SUNSCREEN 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE SUN EXPOSURE. Apply correctly. Sunscreen should be re-applied every 2 hours. |
 |
 |
SUNSCREENS ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH Use hats and glasses, especially in bright light, and for reflected light from water, sand, and snow. |
 |
 |
PROTECT LIPS TOO. Your lips are no exception to sun damage. Apply sunscreen to your lips each day to protect them from dangerous ultraviolet rays. |
 |
 |
AVOID SUNBURN, SUNLAMPS, AND TANNING PARLORS. Tanning beds and sunlamps cause photoaging and significantly increase your risk of developing skin cancer. The Skin Cancer Foundation warns that using tanning beds equipped with sunlamps may expose your skin to up to 12 times the amount of UVA radiation than the actual sun emits each year. |
 |
 |
EXAMINE YOUR SKIN ON A REGULAR BASIS. Take 10 minutes each month to perform a skin self-exam. Look for suspicious patches of skin and abnormal growths. Early detection of skin cancer can help you get treatment before it’s too late. Visit your doctor once a year for a professional exam. |

As part of our system of sun protection products, MD SolarSciences offers Sol ALERT personal UV detectors. These devices measure UV Index (UVI) and help consumers to guard themselves from the dangers of UV radiation through a color-changing warning system based on real-time UV exposure. By means of a patent-pending easy to read UV index scale, these sensors indicate a “time to sunburn” by skin type. SolALERT UV card.
The sensors are part of the MDSolarSciences/SolALERT System, packaged with our sunscreens as well as sold individually. |
