July is UV Awareness Month!

Be smart this summer and protect yourself from harmful Ultraviolet rays. The sun emits radiation as UV-A and UV-B rays. Both can do serious damage to your skin and eyes.
Learning the risks associated with excessive sun exposure and taking the right precautions to protect your skin can help everyone enjoy summer safely! Some of the risks of excessive sun exposure are:

 

  • Vision Impairement
  • Premature Aging of the Skin
  • Suppression of the Immune System
  • Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is the most dangerous of these listed. It affects over 4 million Americans every year and causes about 10,000 deaths.
