Sunscreen
- Choose sunscreen that's water-resistant, SPF 30 or higher, and broad-spectrum coverage against both UVA and UBV rays.
- Apply 15-30 minutes before going outside and be generous.
- Reapply frequently, about every 2 hours, and more when swimming or sweating heavily.
Bike helmet
Make sure everyone on two wheels has a properly fitted helmet. Helmets aren’t just for bikers – they’re also for rollerblading, skateboarding and scooters.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are critical for protecting your eyesight from the sun’s rays. Look for lenses that block at least 99 percent of both UVA and UVB rays.
First aid kit
Stock sterile gauze, adhesive tape, bandages in several sizes, antiseptic wipes, and antibiotic cream.
