Regularly apply a quality broad spectrum SPF 15 or higher
sunscreen
or

a

Apply a high SPF face sunscreen or sunblock and protect your lips with an
SPF lip balm.

Stay out of the
mid-day sun!

|
Stay in the shade, you'll still tan. As much as 85% of UVA and UVB rays
can be reflected off the sand and surf.

7.
|
Don't be fooled by cloud cover, UV rays can still penetrate – wear that
sunscreen.
|
|
8.
|
Wear a T-shirt or rash guard (Lycra garment worn under wet suits) when
snorkeling. This helps to prevent from getting burned when in the water.
|
|
9.
|
Drink lots and lots of bottled water, the sun can really dry you out.

|
10.
|
At the end of the day wash off all sunscreen and sunblock then
moisturize using a quality
aftersun lotion
or a
tanning moisturizer.
