Sun Safety Check-In Toolkit

Safeguard your eyes and skin

Sun safety is not just about avoiding a bad sunburn. It is daily protection for your skin, your eyes, and how you feel in the heat. In our region, summer can still bring cool mornings and cloudy stretches, so it is easy to underestimate UV exposure and dehydration. Small choices help a lot: apply SPF before you head out, reapply when you sweat or swim, wear UV-blocking sunglasses, and build in shade breaks.

This one-page guide keeps it simple with sunscreen basics, common spots people miss, what to look for in sunglasses, and quick steps to cool down when you start to feel off. If symptoms feel intense or do not improve, do not push through. Get help early so you can recover faster and get back to normal.

Sun Safety: Eyes + Skin

Body

Hi team,

Summer sun can sneak up fast, even on cooler or cloudy days. To support you, we are sharing a one-page handout, “Sun Safety: Shield Eyes + Skin” [attached/linked]. It covers sunscreen basics, shade and hydration tips, sunglasses guidance, and quick “when to get care” reminders for heat symptoms, sunburn, and eye irritation.

Pick one small habit to focus on this week. For example: apply SPF before you leave home, keep water within reach, or wear UV-blocking sunglasses on your commute and outdoor breaks.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer VSP vision coverage]
You can also use your VSP vision benefit to stay on top of eye health and sun protection. Create an account on vsp.com to check in-network coverage and find a provider. Routine eye exams are typically a $20 copay, and you can also use your benefit for nonprescription sunglasses.

Seguridad al sol: ojos + piel

Body

Hola equipo,

El sol de verano puede pegar rápido, aun con fresco o nubes. Para apoyarles, compartimos una hoja de una página, “Sol seguro: Cuida ojos + piel” [adjunta/enlace]. Incluye lo básico de protector solar, sombra e hidratación, consejos sobre gafas de sol y recordatorios de “cuándo pedir ayuda” por calor, quemaduras del sol o irritación en los ojos.

Elige un hábito pequeño para esta semana. Por ejemplo: ponte SPF antes de salir de casa, ten agua a la mano, o usa gafas con protección UV en el camino y en tus descansos afuera.

[Employers: include this paragraph only if you offer VSP vision coverage]
También puedes usar tu beneficio de visión VSP para cuidar la salud de tus ojos en verano. En vsp.com puedes revisar tu cobertura, buscar un proveedor en la red, y ver opciones de gafas de sol (incluye gafas sin receta, según tu plan).
