Avoid
the Sun Burn
Wear clothes made from tightly woven fabric
and a hat, Stay out of the sun between 11am and 3pm when it is at
its strongest.
If you're not sure if it's safe, do the shadow test to make an
on-the-spot UV estimate. Just look at your shadow: if you can't
se it at all, dangerous UV rays are reaching you. If you're shadow
is shorter than you are, yours in high-UV territory. If it
extends way out beyond you, yours somewhat safer from UVB rays,
UVA rays remain in effect all day, everyday.
Make sure that you buy a sunscreen which offers "broad spectrum"
protection to ward off both UVA and UVB rays.
Dermatologists recommend at least SPF15. Dont be fooled by SPF30.
It does not give you double the protection of SPF15: it gives
you 3% more.
Check out last year's sun screen dregs as a sun screen's properties
can change with time, especially in extreme heat.
Wear protective sunglasses as UV rays can cause cataracts.
