    Protecting Yourself and Your Home From UV Rays

    There’s no better time to raise awareness on ways you can protect yourself from ultraviolet (UV) rays than in the summer. Here are some ways to do so.

    Protecting Yourself and Your Home From UV Rays

    How to Keep Your Home Safe From UV Rays

    Thankfully, keeping you and your home safe from UV rays requires simple measures. For example, make sure to apply sunscreen before spending time outdoors. These days, different forms of sunscreen are available, such as lotions, sprays and bars. They also come in varying levels of SPF.

    Typically, SPF 15 sunscreens are fine for everyday use since they can protect you from about 93% of UVB rays. If you’re hitting the beach, you might want to opt for sunscreen with higher SPF and reef-safe ingredients.

    Of course, sun protection should still be a consideration for you even when you’re indoors. Just as your skin is sensitive to UV rays, different items in your home are susceptible to UV damage as well. Floors, rugs, artwork and pictures may fade over time if they’re constantly exposed to the heat of the sun. One solution to this is closing your curtains during the day. You might also want to consider window replacement. Windows with UV-resistant glass will prove to be a good investment.
