Protect Yourself
A bit of sunshine is good for us and makes us happy. However, people who lie in the sun for a long time may put themselves in danger. Here are some tips to stay safe in the sun.
Wear a hat
Your head and face can get sunburned（晒伤）easily. Always wear a hat to protect them when you're outside.
Cover up
Wear a long-sleeve（长袖）shirt to keep cool and protect your skin from getting sunburned.
Find shade
The sun is the strongest between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Try to stay in the shade during these hours.
Use sunscreen cream
Put on sunscreen cream with SPF15 or higher on any skin that isn't covered. Use a lot of it before going outside and put more on often, especially after swimming.

• skin cancer（癌）
• looking older too soon
• spotty（斑点多的）skin

We can treat skin cancer if we find it early. If you see anything strange on your skin or if a mole changes the shape, size or colour, tell your parents and see a doctor right away. So enjoy the sun in the right way.
