A few small habits can help protect you this summer.
Wear a hat or light layers when you can. Put on sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on any skin that shows, and add more if you are outside for a while, or if you swim or sweat. When you come back inside, check your body for ticks. Look behind your knees, along waistbands, under your arms, and at your hairline.
Make it easy to remember. Keep a small kit by the door. Try a sunscreen stick, lip balm, and tweezers.
