Get out you're shotglasses...for...wait, what?!

The sun, the warmth, the summer fun has begun! So we need to make sure to protect our skin.





So let's get out our shot glasses. Wait?! What?! Not for drinking but for measuring. A shot glass amount of sunscreen will do your body good. Squeeze out an ounce. That will keep you protected. You need a sheer amount, no need to go out looking like a ghost. Make sure to put sunscreen (SPF30) on 15 to 30 minutes before going out. This gives the sunscreen enough time to be absorbed into your skin and offer you ultimate protection. Apply it all over.  Put it on after your shower so you get it everywhere.  Reapply every two hours if you are outside, every 30 minutes if you're sweating or swimming, even if the label says it's waterproof.




Also, let's not forget our furry friends. Like us, pets should have sunblock applied tips of ears, nose and belly. Cats love to sunbathe and some dogs will too, belly up. Be careful though. make sure you are using a pet friendly sunscreen. Sunscreen for babies will do just fine for our fur babies. Just make sure it's dry before licking! As always Please consult with your veterinarian prior to using any human products or medications on your pet.

Wishing you safe summer fun,
Amber
