While beachgoers and people interested in outdoor recreation have long been admonished to use proper sunscreen when playing outdoors for extended amounts of time, it's important not to forget that the sun can reach you when you're inside a car or inside a house. That's why proper tinting on cars and using plantation blinds in the home is essential for sun safety, especially if a residence is in a particularly sunny location or in a tropical area where the sun is intense. In addition to the sunscreen and hats that someone might wear outside, the shades and tinting used when you're inside can be just as important.
