Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+, apply generously 15–30 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every two hours.

When in the sun, wear protective clothing to cover skin. Long, dark, tightly woven, and dry fabrics offer better UV protection, though not all rays are blocked.

Ideal sunglasses should block 99% to 100% UVA/UVB rays. Check labels for protection; terms like “UV absorption up to 400 nm” ensure safety.

Hydrated skin is healthier and more resilient to sun damage. Drink plenty of water and use moisturizers to maintain your skin’s hydration levels.

Tanning lamps emit UVA and UVB rays, increasing skin cancer risk. Small UV lamps for nails have lower risk.

Seek shade to enjoy the outdoors while reducing UV exposure, particularly during peak sun hours, especially for babies.
