It's Sun Awareness Week! In Florida, we all know about the harshness of the Florida sun. Here are some tips on how to protect yourself and your family as well as support Sun Awareness Week!
Embrace the Hat Craze
A stylish way to celebrate Sun Awareness Week is by starting a hat trend. Wide-brimmed hats not only look chic but also protect faces from harmful UV rays. Throw a hat party with friends to show off your best headwear while spreading the word about sun safety!
Slather on the SPF
Dive into a world of sunscreen this week! Make sunscreen shopping fun by comparing fruity scents, glittery formulas, and high SPFs. Test different brands to find one that smells great and feels good on the skin. Encourage friends and family to slather on sunscreen daily, even if it’s cloudy outside.
Create Shade Zones
Transform an outdoor space into a shady oasis. Pitch a pop-up tent, hang colorful beach umbrellas, or build a backyard fort to keep the sun’s rays at bay. Host a sun-safety-themed picnic to enjoy delicious snacks while relaxing safely in the shade.
Spread Sun Safety Knowledge
Use Sun Awareness Week to become a sun safety guru! Share your sun-smart tips on social media with fun infographics or catchy videos. You can also organize educational talks or pamphlets for schools or local groups. Be the hero who helps everyone bask safely in the sunlight.
Rock Some UV-Blocking Shades
Boost your eyewear game by investing in a pair of UV-blocking sunglasses. Stylish and functional, they offer both eye protection and a cool factor. Challenge friends and family to flaunt their best shades, making a fun contest out of sun-safe fashion. Remember, even on overcast days, your eyes still need protection from UV rays.
