Summer is all about sunshine and outdoor fun — but too much sun can turn into a painful problem. At ZipClinic Urgent Care, we’re here to help you enjoy the season without the sting of sunburn. A few simple steps can protect your skin and keep your summer stress-free.
Here’s how to stay safe in the sun:
☀️ Use Sunscreen the Right Way
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Apply it 15 minutes before heading outside, and reapply every two hours — or sooner if you’re swimming or sweating.
Dress for Protection
Wear lightweight long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses to help shield your skin from harmful UV rays.
⛱️ Find the Shade
Avoid peak sunlight hours (10 AM – 4 PM) when possible, and take breaks under a tree, umbrella, or canopy.
Be Cautious Near Water and Sand
These surfaces reflect sunlight and can increase your risk of sunburn even if you’re under partial cover.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water helps regulate your body temperature and supports your skin’s ability to recover from sun exposure.
