Sun Sense

Make The Most Of Summer Without Hurting Your Skin
One of the great things about year end is all the gifts. The special time about year end is that we get to focus on our families and friends. Getting sunburned and overdoing things can spoil all that from time to time.

We all love to celebrate sunny weather. It’s holiday time. A time to spend outdoors with family and friends. But while you are out there it is wise to take the necessary precautions to protect against excessive sun exposure which can lead to sunburn, wrinkles, skin cancer, and other problems.
A little sun safety now could go a long way toward good health in the future.
