Sunburn Sun Protection Heat Stroke & Heat Exhaustion Don’t Sweat it! Beat the Heat Water – Guzzle, Gulp & Chug Skin Cancer Skin Cancer ScreeningThe UV Index Ozone depletion, as well as seasonal and weather variations, cause different amounts of UV radiation to reach the Earth at any given time. Taking these factors into account, the UV Index predicts the level of solar UV radiation and indicates the risk of overexposure on a scale from 0 (low) to 11 or more (extremely high). • lower UV index – you’re less likely to get sun damage • higher UV index – you need more sun protection to keep your skin and eyes safe UV Index Forecast The National Weather Service calculates the UV Index forecast for most ZIP codes across the U.S. The UV Index is accompanied by recommendations for sun protection. Check the UV index in your area by entering your ZIP Code or the name of your city and state at www.epa.gov/sunsafety/ uv-index-1 . What are UV Rays? The Science Behind the Sun UV rays are an invisible kind of radiation that comes from the Sun, tanning beds and sun lamps. UV rays are harmful to your body because they can cause damage to your skin, and even your eyes, if proper protection is not used. Weather cool and rainy? The sun’s UV rays can pass through clouds, and that’s what can cause damage to skin, not the temperature. The strength of the sun’s UV rays depend on many different things. The sun’s UV rays are strongest: • during the middle of the day • during the summer months • near the equator • at high altitudes (km) 600 500 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 troposphere stratosphere mesosphere thermosphere ozone layer Too much sun can cause a sunburn and damage your skin. The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the atmosphere , which is made up of several layers. The ozone layer is important because it stops some, but not all, of the sun’s UV rays getting through to the Earth. Too much UV ray exposure can damage your skin and cause a sunburn. Over time, sun exposure without protection can also lead to early skin aging, eye problems, and skin cancer.

All Rights Reserved. 94-6867All About Your Skin Skin Structure Skin is made up of an outer layer of tightly packed cells called the epidermis and an inner layer of connective tissue with nerves and blood vessels called the dermis. The epidermis has many layers of cells that are constantly being replaced. Within the epidermis, pigmented cells known as melanocytes release varied amounts of melanin. Skin pores on the surface of the epidermis are openings to sweat glands. The dermis is the underlying layer of the skin that provides the blood supply and contains the nerves that give us our sense of touch. The dermis also contains sweat glands , hair follicles and oil glands. Functions of Your Skin The skin is the body’s largest organ, accounting for more than 10% of body mass. The skin provides a number of functions including: • protection from injury & pathogens • water preservation • temperature control • shock absorption • tactile sensation • vitamin D synthesis • lubrication • waterproofing Skin provides a watertight physical barrier that protects us from injury, infection and dehydration. In the presence of ultraviolet light, skin cells produce vitamin D , which helps in calcium absorption and maintaining strong bones. The skin is rich in blood vessels that constrict to conserve heat when the temperature is cold; and enlarge and increase blood flow to release body heat when the temperature is hot. Sweat glands within the skin release secretions, called perspiration or sweat, which quickly evaporates to create a cooling effect. The body protects itself with non-specific defense systems that react automatically to invading organisms. Your skin is the first line of defense. Inflammation is a general defense system that is activated when pathogens enter the body, as through a cut.

Sunburn Too Much Sun Hurts Unprotected skin can be damaged by the sun’s UV rays in as little as 15 minutes , but it can take up to 12 hours to show the full effect of sun exposure. Vitamin D Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium so you can develop strong bones, muscles, and teeth. Even though your body makes vitamin D when your skin is exposed to the sun, you can also get the vitamin D from foods like fish , diary products , and eggs as well as from a daily multivitamin . Try to get most of your vitamin D from the foods you eat rather than from the sun to keep your skin and bones healthy. Tanning–Beware! Sun-tanned skin is damaged skin. Any change in the color of your skin, whether sunburn or suntan, shows damage from UV rays. There are three things that determine whether people burn or tan: 1) Skin type (normal, dry, oily, or combination) 2) Time of the year 3) How long they have been exposed to the sun’s UV rays Over time, too much exposure to UV rays can change how your skin feels and cause your skin to age faster than normal. Sometimes, it can also cause skin cancer. Indoor Tanning Some people use tanning beds to get tan. This is called indoor tanning . Tanning beds give off powerful levels of UV rays and can increase your risk of getting skin cancer, as well as, other types of skin damage. Sunless tanning lotions , sprays , and wipes use a chemical called dihydroxyacetone , or DHA , to give your skin a tanned look. If you decide to use a sunless tanning product, be careful not to inhale it or let it get in your eyes, nose, mouth or ears. Healthy skin is beautiful skin , and your natural skin tone is what makes you uniquely you! Plan ahead , and keep sun protection like hats, clothing and sunscreen handy. Your eyes can get sunburned too, making them red, dry and painful. Longterm exposure can cause vision problems.

All Rights Reserved. 94-6869Sun Protection Sun Protection Done Right Depending on your favorite outdoor activity, you may need a helmet, a ball, or a bat, but you always need sun protection . It’s just another part of your gear! For greatest protection, use more than one way to protect yourself from the sun, such as shade, clothing, a hat with a wide brim, sunglasses and sunscreen. Try this Sun Safety tool kit: Get a hat. Grab a wide-brimmed hat to shade your face, head, ears, and neck. If you are wearing a baseball cap, be sure to put sunscreen on your ears and the back of your neck. Wear sunglasses. Wear sunglasses that wrap around and block as close to 100% of the sun’s rays as possible. This information can often be found directly on the sunglasses. Apply sunscreen. Put sunscreen on any exposed skin about 15 minutes before going outside to make sure you are totally protected. You’ll need to reapply as needed. Make sure it has a Sun Protection Factor ( SPF ) of at least 15 and is labeled as broad spectrum. Cover up. Clothing can provide great protection from the sun. Long-sleeved shirts, pants, and long skirts offer the best protection. Seek shade. The sun’s rays are strongest during the middle of the day, from about 10 am to 4 pm. If you are going to be outside during midday, try to stay in the shade as much as possible.
