-- Sun protection: 19 percent of adults believe getting a "base tan" will

help prevent sunburn if they plan to spend a lot of time in the sun.

The truth is that any change in skin color is a sign of damage from

ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It's important to have some protection

from the sun's rays. Always wear a sunscreen with at least SPF 15.

Look for brands that spray on and are both sweat and water resistant.
