How can you protect yourself from sunlight?

For me the best way to prevent a sunburn is to avoid sun exposure. I stay out of the midday sun (from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon), which is the strongest sunlight. Find shade if I need to be outdoors. I can also calculate how much ultraviolet (UV) exposure I am getting by using the shadow rule: A shadow that is longer than I am means UV exposure is low; a shadow that is shorter than I am means the UV exposure is high. Other ways to protect myself from the sun include wearing protective clothing, such as: hats with wide 4 in. (10 cm) brims that cover my neck, ears, eyes, and scalp, sunglasses with UV ray protection, to prevent eye damage that may lead to cataracts, loose-fitting, tightly woven clothing that covers my arms and legs. Clothing made with sun protective fabric. These clothes have a special label that tells me how effective they are in protecting my skin from ultraviolet rays.

I think these are the best ways for me.
- use lotion covering my skin anytime I go outside, especially at day.
- don't stay outside for long time cause the sunlight can damage our skin easily.
- wear jacket when I go outside to protect my skin from facing the sunlight directly.

I always do these ways.

There are many ways to protect myself from sunlight.
1. Use sunscreen
I will use sunscreen lotion on my face and body everyday. Because in the sunscreen has spf and uv protection.
2. Protect your skin with clothing
When you are out in the sun, wear clothing to protect as much skin as possible. Clothes provide different levels of UV protection, depending on many factors. Long-sleeved shirts, long pants, or long skirts cover the most skin and are the most protective. Dark colors generally provide more protection than light colors. A tightly woven fabric protects better than loosely woven clothing. Dry fabric is generally more protective than wet fabric.
3. Wear a hat
A hat with at least a 2- to 3-inch brim all around is ideal because it protects areas such as the ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp that are often exposed to intense sun, such as the ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp. A dark, non-reflective underside to the brim can also help lower the amount of UV rays reaching the face from reflective surfaces such as water.

I try to apple sunscreen body lotion before I go out.
I try to avoid being in direct sunlight from 10 A.M to 4 P.M because the sun rays are the strongest at that time which it causes a skin cancer. I choose to dress infants in lightweight long pants, long sleeved shirts, wear hat and sun glasses always when I have to go out in the sun.

During the day times, we should protect our skin from sunlight because it can harm us in many way like burning our skin and then make our skin come dark or maybe turn to be the cancer in the future. These are tips to protect ourselves from the sunlight.
1. Use sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15. Make sure it is water-resistant and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
2. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside so your skin has time to absorb it.
3. Be generous in application of sunscreen. An ounce of sunscreen should cover the face, neck, arms and legs of the average adult.
4. Wear protective clothing, like hats, sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts and pants.

I have good trip for you.Stay indoors when the sun is at its hottest. This is usually the 4 hours in the middle of the day. If you have a pool, try swimming in the evening when the sun is beginning to set. Remember, the sun's rays are not only intense in the summer, but also in the winter. Try not to stare at the sun, even with sunglasses because of it's UV rays.

As you know, nowadays sunlight is very harsh! Especially, in Mahasarakham, when I have to get out of my room. I need to prepare lots of things to cover my body. So these items I usually follow when I need to confront with sunlight!
Apply sunscreen every day, even in the wintertime. Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating. When choosing a sunblock, make sure to choose one that has UVA or Broad Spectrum protection, because if it doesn’t, then it may only protect you from UVB rays. Never, never, NEVER!!!! go into a tanning bed. Really, just don’t. Despite what the salon owners may try to tell you, there is NO such thing as a safe tan!! Just last year, tanning beds were officially added to the highest-risk category on the list of top cancer-causers, right up there with cigarettes, mustard gas, and arsenic. Stay away!!Buy a daily moisturizer for your face that contains an SPF of at least 15. The skin on your face is more sensitive to sun damage than the rest of your body. These moisturizers are made by almost any brand that you can find in drugstores, such as Clean and Clear or Neutrogena. Give your scalp, face, and eyes extra protection by wearing a hat and sunglasses. Not only do these accessories provide protection, but they can be quite fashionable as well.

To protect myself from sunlight I always wear coat and pants when I'm going out during the day.
The sunlight here in Thailand is very strong and hot.
Another way is to apply sunblock lotion on my skin.
The last one is to stay in the building during the day.
These would help.

....Natcha 3EN 023....

I use sun screen or a moisturizer with spf because
using sunscreen with high SPF prevents me tan
to increase its intensity. This is needed
if you need to stay in the sun.
You can try the other methods when at home
but do not forget to apply high SPF sunscreen
when out in the sun.

I have the ways to protect your skin from sunlight to share you:
-Cover up. Wear tightly-woven clothing that blocks out light. Try this test: Place your hand between a single layer of the clothing and a light source. If you can see your hand through the fabric, the garment offers little protection.
-Use sunscreen. A sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 blocks 93 percent of UV rays. You want to block both UVA and UVB rays to guard against skin cancer. Be sure to follow application directions on the bottle.
-Wear a hat. A wide brim hat (not a baseball cap) is ideal because it protects the neck, ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp.
-Wear UV-absorbent shades. Sunglasses don't have to be expensive, but they should block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation.

A certain number of precautions should be taken.
• Avoid exposure when the sun’s rays are at their most intense.
The higher the sun in the sky, the stronger the ultraviolet radiation.
In summer, in Western Europe, this phase runs from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm.
More generally, it is not advisable to stay on the beach for the whole day.
• Wear enveloping sunglasses with a high anti-UV factor,
a wide-rimmed sun hat and loose, and if possible, long clothing
(long-sleeved T-shirts and bermuda shorts or trousers).
• Don’t trust your impressions.
Since it is the infrared rays that make you start to feel too hot and not the UV rays,
it is quite possible to be the victim of sunburn
without having had the feeling that you have exposed your skin rashly.

If you were only trying to avoid sunburn, the answer would be "yes." But protection from sunburn is not the most important reason for wearing sunscreen. You want to reduce damage from the sun. Your skin can be harmed by constant sun exposure, whether or not you see a burn. Remember, sunburn is an immediate reaction, but damage from the sun occurs over a lifetime. If you have had a skin cancer or pre-cancer, you should use an SPF of 15 or higher. (Some dermatologists recommend that almost everyone use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15.)

Niramon Samorn 4EN 026

Apply sunscreen every day, even in the wintertime.
Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating.
When choosing a sunblock, make sure to choose one that has UVA or Broad Spectrum protection, because if it doesn’t, then it may only protect you from UVB rays.
