Use sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating. Choose a broad-spectrum product with SPF 30 or higher, and apply it to all exposed skin, including often-missed areas like ears, neck, and tops of feet. Store sunscreen away from heat and check expiration dates, since effectiveness decreases over time. Call the Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 and speak directly to experts 24/7.
