  • By Hill Civilian Health Promotion Services

HILL AIR FORCE BASE – Summer is here. Spending time outside is a great way to be physically active, reduce stress and get vitamin D. You can work and play outside without raising your skin cancer risk by following these tips.

• Stay in the shade.
• Wear clothing that cover your arms and legs.
• Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade your face, head, ears and neck.
• Wear sunglasses that wrap around and block both UVA and UVB rays.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.

Join Hill CHPS for a June health education class to learn more about summer physical health. Attend a scheduled class or set up an event in your location.
