Ways to Minimize Exposure to Sun Radiation

There are different ways to  escape the ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Here are some;  Avoid sun exposure. the sun's rays are strongest between 10 am to 2 pm. Avoid reflected sunlight from sand, pavements, or snow. Apply sunscreen with sun protection of at least SPF 15 (Sun Protection Factor). This should be repeated throughout the day if exposure is continuous.  Use sunscreens with prolonged exposure to artificial light source such as fluorescent lamps, welding arcs, cold quartz or bactericidal lamps. Wear protective clothing to reduce skin absorption of the radiation. smoke and smog in large cities only partially screens UVB rays so you have to be protected.
