How to Protect Your Skin From sun


Instructions

1. Long-term exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your skin. To protect it, stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the rays are at their strongest. And remember that clouds don't block UV rays.

2. Seek shade when you're outdoors.


3. Wear a hat, preferably with a 4-inch brim all around, to effectively cover your face, neck and ears.

4.Wear long sleeves and long pants, making sure they're made of tightly woven fabrics.

5. Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 every day to help protect against incidental sun exposure; reapply it after swimming or sweating.

6. Keep in mind that a typical T-shirt has a lower SPF than the American Cancer Society recommends, so you'll still need to apply sunscreen to areas the T-shirt covers.

7. Be aware that ultraviolet rays generally reflect off water, sand, snow and any light-colored surface, such as concrete; be diligent in applying sunscreen when you're around these surfaces.

8. Remember that some ultraviolet radiation will penetrate water and windows, so you always need protection.
9. Avoid indoor sunlamps and tanning beds, since they can be more harmful to your skin than the sun.
