Trek Tip of the Week #7 - Protection: Sunburns are no fun. Plus, too much sun exposure can lead to sun sickness or sun stroke in extreme cases. The use of sun screen with SPF rating of 30 or greater is recommended. It should be applied to all exposed areas (face, ears, neck, arms/hands) every 2 hours. Sunscreen alone won’t protect you completely so you also need to wear long sleeve shirts, pants/skirts with bloomers, wide brimmed hats, and sun glasses (to protect your eyes). Lip balm with sunscreen is highly recommended.
