Temperatures are heating up here in Albany and the sun is getting warmer by the day. While things are getting warmer, we want to help provide you with a few sun protection tips to help keep you and your family safe this summer! So, check out our sun protection tips and put them to use this summer. And of course, once you’re ready to enjoy your summer in a brand new Kia, contact our team and let us help you upgrade! Let’s get started! 

Top 10 Tips for Sun Protection: 

• Always use sunscreen, even on cloudy days 
• Apply your sunscreen at least 15 to 30 minutes prior to going outside 
• Choose a sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB radiation 
• Reapply your sunscreen every two hours, every hour if you’re swimming or sweating 
• Be cautious around water and sand, these surfaces can actually increase chances of getting a sunburn due to reflection of sun rays
• Keep children covered and babies under 6 months completely covered and in shady areas 
• Limit your sun exposure times during 10 AM and 4 PM 
• If possible, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants if you’re worried about extreme sunburns 
• Accessorize smartly: sunglasses, hats, etc. 
• Be cautious when it comes to medications and how they could react with the sun (consult your doctor if you are concerned about this)
