Dear XXX,
Summer is winding down, but that doesn’t mean the sun is going anywhere.
As you plan to make the most out of the last few weeks of summer, here are some tips to do it safely:
- Don’t get burned. Red, sore, blistered or peeling skin means far too much sun – and raises your skin cancer risk.
- Cover up. Shirts, hats, shorts and pants provide the best protection from UV rays – and they don’t coat your skin with goop.
- Sunglasses aren’t just a fashion accessory. Good shades protect your eyes from UV radiation that causes cataracts.
You can also shop on EWG’s Sun Safety Campaign Store. It’s full of products that EWG experts have independently selected as meeting the highest standards of EWG’s Sunscreen Guide. It’s a fast and easy way to access EWG-rated sunscreens that you can order straight from Amazon, and a percentage of your purchase goes to EWG!
Whether you’re heading to the beach, hanging by the pool, or planning a Labor Day cookout, it’s absolutely critical to not let the fun get in the way of practicing smart sun.
Here at EWG, we are always thinking of supporters like you and how we can continue to help you make safer choices for yourself and your family. As you soak up the last rays of summer sun over the next few weeks, I hope you’ll keep us in mind, too.
Here’s to practicing smart sun – all year long.
Sincerely,
Ken Cook
President, Environmental Working Group
