There are several effective ways to protect your skin from UV radiation:
Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours, and after swimming or sweating. Wear Protective Clothing: Opt for long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and wide-brimmed hats. Look for clothing with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) for added safety. Seek Shade: Stay in the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun's rays are the strongest. Use Sunglasses: Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Avoid Tanning Beds: Tanning beds emit harmful UV radiation that increases the risk of skin cancer.
