Sun protection is essential year-round, not just in summer. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, reapply every 2 hours or after swimming and sweating, wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses, and seek shade during peak hours (10 AM–4 PM). Our pharmacists can help choose sunscreen for your skin type.
