Now that summer is in full swing, it’s the perfect time for barbecues, pool days and enjoying the sunshine. But with longer days and more time outdoors comes increased exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can be more harmful than many people realize.

July is UV Safety Month, a national reminder to protect your skin from the sun’s rays to reduce your risk of long-term damage, all while still enjoying the season.
