A Sun Tip for Every Day
A weekly framework for sun-safety education. Each day carries its own theme — useful for classroom warm-ups, family conversations, and social media. Build one habit at a time.
Motivation Monday
Start the week with intention. Build one sun-safe habit you can keep.
Commit to a small habit for the week: sunscreen each morning, a wide-brim hat at recess, or a UPF shirt at the pool.
Tip Tuesday
Three quick sun-smart practices to stack into the day:
Reapply sunscreen every two hours · cover ears and the back of the neck · consider a UPF rash guard for swimming and outdoor sports.
Wellness Wednesday
Sun safety is one part of overall health. Protecting skin today supports lifelong wellbeing.
You can obtain Vitamin D from food sources — salmon, eggs, fortified milk — and from supplements. Intentional sun exposure is not required.
Trivia Thursday
A common myth, debunked:
"You don't need sunscreen on cloudy days."
False. Up to 80% of UV passes through cloud cover. Cloudy days still warrant sun protection.
Feature Friday

Sun Fact Saturday
A notable fact worth sharing:
Five or more sunburns before age 20 can double the lifetime risk of melanoma. Early-life sun habits have outsized long-term impact.
Self-Care Sunday
A quieter day for skin care and reflection.
Hydrate, use SPF for any outdoor time, and consider scheduling a monthly skin self-check.
