(Wisconsin Radio Network) Summer sunshine means extra attention to skin safety.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, University of Minnesota Medical School dermatologist Dr. David Pearson says UV levels rise significantly during the summer, increasing the risk of sun damage.

He recommends applying sunscreen every morning, even on days when you don’t expect much time outdoors, and reapplying throughout the day when needed. Pearson also suggests wearing UPF-rated sun-protective clothing for added protection.

If you do get a sunburn, cold showers, over-the-counter creams and staying hydrated can help ease symptoms.
