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.

As we knew that sunlight sometimes make damage things to your health; burn skin and make an eyes problems. Then these are all of my solutions that I use in my long last summer to protect myself from sunlight and I think it's very useful. Let's follow !
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Wear a hat. A wide brim hat (not a baseball cap) is ideal because it protects the neck, ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp.
4. Wear UV-absorbent shades. Sunglasses don't have to be expensive, but they should block 99 to 100 percent of UVA and UVB radiation.
5.Limit exposure. UV rays are most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you're unsure about the sun's intensity, take the shadow test: If your shadow is shorter than you, the sun's rays are the day's strongest.

While some sunlight is good for health, skin cancer caused by excessive exposure to sunlight is not among the sun's benefits. Because some types of skin cancer are easy to cure, the danger posed by too much sunlight is perhaps not taken seriously enough. It is important to remember that a more serious form of skin cancer, called melanoma, is also associated with excessive sun exposure. Melanomas are potentially lethal tumors. Risk of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer can be significantly reduced by avoiding excessive exposure to the sun, using sunscreen lotions, and wearing protective clothing to shield the skin from ultraviolet radiation.

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.

Sun damage involves more than a few annoying brown sun spots that develop over time after repeated exposure to the sun. Repeated exposure to the sun can also develop into a potentially life threatening condition such as skin cancer. One of the best ways to protect yourself from sun damage is to invest in a good, wide-brimmed hat. A wide-brimmed hat will protect your head, scalp, neck, face and ears from direct exposure to the sun's harmful UV and UVB rays. Remember that even if you have applied liberal amounts of sun screen to your face and neck, your scalp will still be exposed to the sun and show signs of sun damage by turning red and eventually burning. But a wide-brimmed hat will protect several parts of the body from direct sun exposure during the hottest parts of the day, usually between 10:00am-4:00pm. Keeping the head covered will also allow you to work in hotter climates for longer without succumbing to heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Clothing plays a crucial role in protecting the body from sun damage. Try to avoid wearing clothing that exposes the arms, legs and neck. Instead, wear loose fitting long sleeved, cotton clothing that will allow your body to breathe and keep your legs covered. Unless you have to abide by a strict dress code or uniform, opt for pale colours such as white, cream and ivory instead of black, grey and dark blue.These choices will deflect the sun's rays, rather than absorb them. Protect your body from sun damage such as sunburn, sun spots, solar keratosis and other sun-related conditions by investing in a good quality, wide-brimmed hat and keeping the body covered at all times while you are working outdoors. Taking these simple preventative measures can help you to work outdoors safely and more effectively without having to worry about suffering from sun damage.

Now,I always take an umbrella to protect the strong sunshine
especially in Mahasarakham; I think it is most strongest sunshine that I have met.

Although I smear a UV cream;SPF over 30, I still irritate my skin. So, I think finding a shelter covered our body is the best way to protect my soft skin from sunshine.

The most important one is we should not avoid sunshine in the early morning and evening because there is a lot of vitamin D;it can help and support your skeleton and immune system and also prevent us from the problem in intestine.You can do the exercise in that time.
If you always exercise,you become frest and healthy surely.

Staying out of the sun is the best way to avoid sun damage, but most of us go outdoors regularly. So when you go outside, take these precautions:
Most importantly, always wear sunscreen. You should put it on every day. Make it a habit, such as brushing your teeth.
-Try to avoid sun in the middle of the day, from about 10 am to 3 pm. The ultraviolet rays, which cause sunburn, are strongest during this time.
-When you do go outdoors, especially for long periods in the middle of the day, wear protective clothing. Long sleeves and slacks, as well as a wide-brimmed hat, help protect your body against the sun's harmful effects.
-Wear sunglasses that filter UV light.

Try to avoid being in direct sunlight from 10 AM to 4 PM, when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
Choose clothing made of thick material or dark colors, because these fabrics contain a higher SPF than lightweight, light colored cloth. Alternatively, you can wash your clothes with Sun Guard, which gives clothes an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 30.

• Avoid reflective surfaces, which can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's damaging rays.

• Protect children. Minimize sun exposure and apply sunscreen to children aged 6 months and older.

• No shadow...seek the shade! If your shadow is shorter than you are, you're likely to sunburn.

Check the UV protection level. UV protection (protection from ultraviolet rays) is desirable year round; also, sunglasses should be worn during daylight hours even when the weather is cloudy or hazy. Your sunglasses should provide more than 95 percent UV protection.
Check the lens tint. Most people believe that darker sunglasses provide better protection, but that is not necessarily the case. The lens tint should block 80 percent of transmissible light (light that can be transmitted through the lens), but no more than about 90 percent of light, or it will be hard for you to see. Neutral gray, amber, brown, and green are good colors to choose from.
Make sure your eyes are protected from all angles. Choose sunglasses that wrap all the way around the temples and/or wear a hat with a three-inch brim that can block the overhead sunlight.
Wear sunglasses over your contact lenses. People who wear contact lenses that offer UV protection should still wear sunglasses. Sunglasses help to prevent the drying effect most contact lens-wearers experience, which is caused by warm wind.
Buy sunglasses for your children. Consider buying sunglasses with UV protection for your children, and remember that the eyes of small infants should always be shaded from direct exposure to the sun.
