Now that you know the positives and negatives that UV radiation has on your health, here are some ways to protect yourself. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses. Sunglasses these days have 100% UV protection and get sunglasses with side protection too.
Use sunscreen to protect your skin. Use a least SPF 15 sunscreen, and sunscreen that is waterproof and blocks out both UV-A and UV-B is the best choice. Wear clothing that has light colors because dark colors, like black, attract the UV rays. Hats are also a good option too. Also, avoid over exposure, the highest amounts of UV radiation happen between 10 and 2. Shaded areas do help, but they do receive UV radiation. Artificial UV tanning is another thing to avoid along with spray tans. They don't look natural and they don't come with the benefits that the actual Sun does. The perfect amount of sunlight is 15 minutes per day.
