Sun exposure guidelines

Sun exposure guidelines recommend limiting time in direct sunlight, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV rays are strongest. Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to shield your skin and eyes. Seek shade whenever possible, especially during peak hours. It's also important to check the UV index, which can help you determine the strength of the sun’s rays and adjust your sun safety measures accordingly. Regular skin checks for unusual moles or changes are advised for early detection of skin issues.
