May 27th is National Sunscreen Day- Plan your promotions
Sunscreen day that falls on May 27th is the best way to celebrate the glorious months of summer while staying UV safe. As most families and beach lovers head to the beaches, hiking trails, pools and playgrounds to soak up the sun and indulge in the great outdoors, Sun screen day will make a great reminder to stay protected from the sun.
Apart from wearing a lavish spread of sunscreen with adequate SPF , everyone should stay out from outdoors at the hottest time of the day (11 am – 2 pm) and drink plenty of liquids. Wear hat and UV resistant sunglasses for added protection against sun.
How to choose sunscreen?
Over exposure to sunlight is cited as the biggest reason of skin cancer among Americans. Wearing sunscreen will prevent the risk to a large extent. Make sure to choose a sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 or higher. It should ideally provide broad-spectrum coverage and be water resistant.
Apply sunscreen generously atleast 15 minutes before going outdoors to let your skin absorb the sunscreen and protect you. Most adults need at least one ounce of sunscreen to fully cover all exposed areas of your body. Apply sunscreen on all bare skin including neck, face, ears, tops of your feet, back and legs. It is recommended to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours to remain protected, or immediately after swimming or excessively sweating.
Businesses that wish to spread awareness on UV exposure and skin cancer prevention can think of special promotional events on this day. From caption contest to handing out custom promotional gifts and hosting fund raising events, there are a lot of effective ways to make people aware of UV risks.
Custom sunscreen will make a great handout to remind your employees and clients to apply sunscreen and stay UV safe during their summer leisure activities. It can be used as a stand alone giveaway or as part of sun protection kit along with other items like cooling towels, lipbalm and sunglasses among others.
