Windshields are treated to shield drivers from some UVA, but side, back and sunroof windows usually aren\u2019t. So when you\u2019re in your car, you should protect yourself and your family from that sunlight shining through the glass.<\/p>\n<p>The same holds true for windows on airplanes, trains and buses. Have you ever felt like you\u2019re burning up sitting on the sunny side by an airplane window? Yes, you\u2019re being bombarded by UVA up there, too, and maybe even more so because of being at high altitude. (Airline pilots and crew members tend to get more skin cancer than people in other professions.)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5 Travel Protection Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>\u00a0About 90 percent of all holiday travel is by car, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, so that\u2019s where you\u2019re probably getting the most exposure. Think sunscreen, protective clothing and sunglasses for all your family members before you load the luggage into the trunk. If you have babies, a hat and clothing are their best protection. You can start using sunscreen on them at the age of six months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0Be sure to look for the words \u201cbroad spectrum\u201d on the sunscreen label to make sure the formula protects against UVA rays as well as UVB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Consider installing transparent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/blog\/not-all-uv-rays-stay-outside-how-window-film-can-help-protect-you\/\">UV-blocking window film<\/a> in your car for long-term peace of mind.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong>Flyers, be sure to bring the maximum amount of sunscreen the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) allows (3.4 ounces) in your carry-on bag, so you have some in reserve to reapply. Pack larger containers of sunscreen in your checked luggage for the rest of your trip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Remember that no matter where you\u2019re headed, whether it\u2019s to a tropical beach, powdery slopes, or to see your loved ones in any season, you still need sun protection every day, all year long.<\/p>\n<p>Safe and happy travels to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before you hit the road or board a train or plane this season, here\u2019s a new way
