Will I get sun protection

One of the most important things you and your family can do to keep safe and healthy as you spend more time under the sun is use sunglasses and sunscreens.

So what do you look for in sunglasses? Besides style, you will see UVA or UVB designations on a good pair of sunglasses.

UVA protection keeps you safe from the sun's ultraviolet rays that could cause blindness. UVB sunglasses protect the skin around the eyes. "The sun glasses will actually protect your eyes against those rays and protect the skin around the eyes from wrinkling,"

Consumers have a wide variety of choices and can find quality glasses in various price ranges. You can get eye protection for £20 or you can spend more than £300 for a pair of designer glasses.

"They're 35 percent lighter than your average sunglasses. And they bend and they won't break,"

More expensive glasses may also include a polarized lens that eliminates glare from the reflected light.

Many people don't want to spend a lot of money on sunglasses. They expect to break them, scratch them or lose them before the summer's over. But settling for a cheap pair is not a good idea.

There are sunglasses on our site from £12 and they provide you with adequate protection.

And now that your eyes are safe, what about the rest of your body? Don't forget the sunscreen. "They should look for ingredients for the physical sunscreens, such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide. Those are physical sunscreens, meaning once you put them on, they last a long time, up to eight hours,"

Be mindful of the lotion's sun protection factor or SPF number. It is said you should not settle for anything less that a 15. "This is just an SPF 4. Anybody who comes in with this, and they tell me they've put on an SPF 4, I say you might as well not even waste your time, because this is nothing,"

An SPF 45 sunscreen will block 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays. And here's an important reminder: Check the expiration date. Sunscreen is only good for about a year.

Just because the day gets off to a cloudy start doesn't mean you are safe. The sun's ultraviolet rays are still bearing down on you. Don't forget about your lips and your ears. And remember that sunlight can make it through thin layers of clothing. For example, a white t-shirt provides only about the same protection as a SPF 10 sunscreen. "Here I've seen patients as young as 20 years old have skin cancer on their face because we live in an environment where it's summer all year long,"

Some experts say there is no such thing as a safe ultraviolet ray. So if you want a nice tan, her best advice is to stay out of the sun and use a tanning lotion. It will not only protect you from the sun, but have you feeling good and looking great.
