Prioritize Sun Safety this summer 

While the sun has been a rare sight this week, people are encouraged to make sure they are protecting themselves from the sun’s harmful rays. Kelsey Merkens of Norman Mahnomen Public Health shares some advice that all people should follow when it comes to protecting their skin. 

A question many have when it comes to sunscreen is whether they should use spray on or lotion sunscreen, and Merkens tells us if it matters. 

Finally, Merkens talks about the long term effects that can happen if you fail to use sunscreen.
