July is UV safety awareness month, so let’s address a common myth. Think you’re safe from sunburn in the shade? Not quite… 🚫 Myth: You can’t get a sunburn in the shade. ✅ Truth: UV rays can reflect off water, sand, pavement, and even grass. Shade helps, but it doesn’t block all exposure. To keep yourself safe from harmful rays, follow proper sun safety: wear SPF 30+, use hats and sunglasses, stay hydrated, and reapply sunscreen every two hours. Even in the shade, your skin still needs backup. ☀️
