Ways to Protect —Try to avoid outdoor activities between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the suri's rays are strongest. Be es- pecially careful during the summer months. -aftemember that burning ultraviolet rays are also present on overcast days. They are invisible and are not screened by a cloud cover. Sand, snow and concrete can reflect significant amounts of ultraviolet light onto the skin. —Some drugs such as thiazides — for high blood pressure — or sulfas and cosmetics can increase your susceptibility to sunburn. Avoid ;thing mineral, olive or baby oil on your skin since oils magnify and increase the sun's burning effect. —Wear a hat and long sleeves whenever possible during the summer months. —Use a sunscreen with a SPF recommended for your skin type. For maximum effectiveness, .apply it at least one hour before exposure. Ask your pharmacist for assistance in choosing the appropriate SPF number. --Always reapply sunscreens after swimming or perspiring. —Individuals at high risk for skin cancer — outdoor workers, persons who have already had skin cancer — should use sunscreens whenever they are exposed to the sun.
