Summer is a wonderful time to be outside. From the beach and lake to parks and campgrounds, there are endless opportunities to enjoy all the benefits of the outdoors with the warm weather. While it’s great to soak up the sunshine and fresh air, it is also important to take steps to protect your skin while doing so. The sun’s strong rays and exposure adds up day after day, and can become evident on skin in the form of wrinkles, age spots as well as increase the chances of developing skin cancer. To stay safe in the sun this summer, TicketsatWork is offering discounts on protective clothing and skin care products. Use our company code: GWU.
