About


From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your About.com Health Editor

Now that summer is in full swing, it’s important to remember how to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays.  Sunburns are painful, but there are many other dangers of overexposure—which can happen more quickly than you realize—that you may not be aware of.  There are also more ways to protect yourself from the sun than sunscreen alone, though it is an important tool.  Here’s what you need to know about sun protection, from the basics to the finer points; protect yourself and your family, and you can more safely make the most of those long summer days.
