Cool
Cat Says Get Sunwise!
 |
 |
SLIP!
on a shirt
Cover up with cool, loose clothes,
like baggy T-shirts and trousers. Close-woven cloth is better
than loose-woven. Cotton is better than artificial fibres. |
SLAP!
on a hat
Wear a hat that shades your
face, neck and ears. A wide-brimmed hat or a legionnaire's cap
with a flap at the back are good. |

SLOP!
on sunscreen
If there's any chance you'll
burn, use a high-factor sunscreen SPF 15 or more (Sun Protection
Factor). Water-proof sunscreens are best. It soon wears or washes
off, so put it on THICK & OFTEN! Cover ALL your exposed bits,
including the tip of your nose and the tops of your ears. |
SLAM!
on sunglasses
Wear a good pair of sunspecs,
ones that will protect your eyes against UV light. |

STAY
in the shade!
Try to stay out of strong sunlight.
In the summer, this is usually between 11 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
Use the shade of trees, umbrellas or buildings (but remember
that concrete can reflect a lot of UV light). |
SIP
loads of water!
Hot days can make you lose lots
of water. So drink a LITRE or MORE of water every day. And if
you're exercising really HARD, you should drink even more. |

|
And
NEVER
SNOOZE in the sun
or you might just fry!
