During the summer months, the sun can be intense enough to burn your skin between the hours of 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. The reflection of the sun off of the ocean and light colored sand can exaggerate this effect even more. Overexposure to the sun may result in skin cancer later in life. Learn the facts about exposure to the sun's UV rays.

Dangers of UV Exposure

You can sunburn even on a cloudy day!

On average, children spend 3 times more time in the sun than adults!

Concrete, sand, water, and snow reflect 85% to 90% of the sun's UV rays.

Depletion of Earth's ozone continues to increase your exposure to UV rays!

More than 1 million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the US!

Every 5 minutes another women is diagnosed with skin cancer.

Skin cancer is increasing at a faster rate than any other cancer.

Every sunburn increases a child's chance of getting skin cancer as an adult.
