Don't forget your lips. Protect your lips with a balm with an SPF of at least 15. 8. Sunscreen is just one component of a sun-protection program. Minimize exposure during the middle part of the day, when the sun's rays are strongest. Stay in the shade when possible.
Darker colors offer more protection than lighter colors.
Protect your eyes. Wrap-around lenses work best because they block the UV rays from sneaking in from the side or from behind. Check your medicine cabinet. Such medications as certain antibiotics and blood-pressure drugs can make you more sensitive to the sun, Marcus warns. Before spending time in the sun, check with your doctor or pharmacist on any drugs you're taking.
