One of the major environmental factors that affect skin is the exposure to UV radiation from the sun.

Experts recommend that you use multiple methods to fully protect your skin.

· Stay out of the sun during the peak hours of UV radiation, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

· Wear protective clothing:

-- Wide-brimmed hats that protect the face and neck
--Tightly-woven clothing made of thick material, such as unbleached cotton, polyester, wool, or silk
-- Dark clothing with dyes added that help absorb UV radiation
-- Loose-fitting long-sleeved clothing that covers as much of the skin as possible
-- Clothing that has sun protection factor (SPF) (see below) in the fabric that does not wash out

· Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher summer and winter, on both cloudy and clear days:
-- SPF of 11 offers minimal protection.
-- SPF of 12 to 29 offers moderate protection.
-- SPF of 30 and above offers high protection.

·Apply sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB to all exposed skin, including lips, ears, back of hands, and neck. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going in the sun, and reapply it every 2 hours and after swimming, exercising, or sweating.
· Wear wraparound sunglasses that block at least 99% of UVA and UVB radiation.
· Be careful when you are on sand, snow, or water, because these surfaces can reflect 85% of the sun's rays.
· Avoid artificial sources of UVA radiation, including sunlamps and tanning booths: They also can cause skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Sun Protection Factor (SPF)

You will notice that sunscreens have a sun protection factor (SPF) rating or number. This number indicates the length of time skin can be in the sun with little risk of sunburn. A common misconception is that a high SPF number give more protection than a lower number, but in reality it simply protects you for a longer time in the sun. For example an SPF of 8 protects you twice as long as an SPF of 4. You will find that using a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 can prevent almost all sunburns.

The SPF rating applies only to protection from ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Some sunscreens protect against UVA rays, but they have no SPF rating. No sunscreen gives total protection, but `broad-spectrum` sunscreens usually protect from UVA and UVB rays. Studies have not shown that sunscreens with SPF higher than 30 offer any more protection from ultraviolet rays than sunscreens with SPF 30.

Sweating heavily, swimming, or doing other water activities reduces the SPF because sweat or water on the skin will reduce the amount of protection the sunscreen provides. Sunscreen needs to be reapplied more frequently during these activities.
