- Use sun block with an SPF 15 or higher, and reapply every two
hours, and after swimming, sweating or while on the slopes.

Stay Safe
- Think twice about tattoos or body piercings; if you do decide
to have a tattoo or piercing, make sure to use a reputable shop.

- Sunscreen or suntan oil on your hands can cause condoms to
break.
