Sun Safety US Forest Service

Sunny weather can make for very enjoyable days on your National Forests, but it only takes minutes to damage your skin. The sun is constantly bathing exposed skin and even your eyes with ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Even on cool and cloudy days, sun damage is possible if you don’t take precautions. As uncomfortable and unsightly as sunburn is, the damage isn’t limited to that. UV radiation damages the DNA in your skin. The effects are cumulative and can lead to skin cancer. The good news is that it is easy to protect yourself.
