Time to talk about sunburns. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. It’s that time of year again. Time to sit by the pool and enjoy the long summer days. But, you might want to make sure you have sun protection close by. Did you know that it takes less than fifteen minutes for the sun’s UV rays to burn your skin? The best way to avoid a nasty burn is to find shade, wear a hat, or to wear long clothing. Sunscreen is also a good option, especially while swimming. The CDC recommends wearing at least 15spf. Be sure to reapply as directed and wait the appropriate time before entering water. Also, check the expiration date on the bottle. If you have little ones, make sure they’re properly protected against the sun. Sunscreen should not be applied to infants under six months.
