will also remind you the proper sun protection. Available in many design and shapes that fits your lifestyle, UV Sensor
is truly a daily essential that

· Limit Exposure during midday hours since most UV, 60%, is received between 10 am and 2pm daily
· Seek shade — it can reduce UV by 50% or more
· Wear protective clothings: broad-brimmed hat to protect the eyes, face and neck
· Protect the eyes with wrap-around-design sunglasses or sunglasses with side panels and that block 99~100% of UV rays
· Always use broad-spectrum, (SPF)15+ sunscreen when outside and reapply liberally since sweat can remove sunscreen.
· Protect babies and young children.
· Avoid tanning beds.
· Special Care: People with different skin types reacts to UV radiation differently. Fair-skinned people e.g. children
and babies may need extra protections. So apply protective measures according to your needs.”
