What’s your favorite summertime activity? With the sun out, it’s easy to enjoy the outdoors, lounge at the pool, or take that family vacation you’ve been dreaming of, just be sure to pack the sunscreen! And read this month’s blog for extra summertime tips and benefits to make this summer the best one yet.
Enjoy Your Summer While Staying Safe
Keeping a water bottle with you is an easy way to make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day and stay hydrated in the heat. Check out PerkSpot for discounts on water bottles if you need a new one!
Even if you spend part of your summer in the office, you still need to protect your skin from the sun. That’s right, UVA rays can penetrate glass (got an office with a window?) and cause premature aging. For effective sun protection, indoors and out, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays and apply it every day. You can even use your Healthcare FSA to cover the cost of sunscreen for adults and children.
