Let's talk SUN PROTECTION
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month!
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and with the warm weather approaching now is a great time to talk about sun safety.
At Snapper Rock, we believe in promoting sun safety all year round and encourage everyone to take preventative measures like wearing UPF 50+ clothing & swimwear, applying sunscreen regularly, and seeking shade during peak UV hours. Remember, protecting your skin today can prevent skin cancer in the future.
Children should wear UPF 50+ swimwear, which offers excellent protection against harmful UV rays. All Snapper Rock swimwear has a UPF rating of 50+, blocking 98% of all harmful rays.

A wide-brimmed hat is also a must to shield the face, neck, and ears from the sun.
Don't forget to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen
with an SPF of 30 or higher, even on cloudy days.
Pick a cool pair of sunnies with UV protection.
Sunglasses can also help protect the eyes from UV damage.

Lastly, encourage children to seek shade during peak UV hours (10 am - 4 pm) and take regular breaks from direct sun exposure to avoid heat exhaustion or dehydration.
