8 Tips for Preventing Sunburns on Patrol

  • Use Sunscreen Year-Round: Choose an SPF 15 or greater, increasing for fairer skin.
  • Broad-Spectrum Protection: Select a sunscreen that protects against UVB and UVA radiation.
  • Pre-Outdoor Application: Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before exposure, focusing on ears, hands, and around the eyes.
  • Water-Resistant Formula: Use water-proof or water-resistant sunscreen due to the physical nature of the job.
  • Winter Sun Protection: Don’t neglect sunscreen in winter as snow reflects the sun’s rays more intensely.
  • Lip Protection: Use a lip balm with SPF 15 or higher.
  • Reapplication: Reapply sunscreen every two hours.
  • Wear a Thick Hat: Ensure no sunlight penetrates by holding it up to the light.
