Sun Damage: Increased Risks

Increased Risks


Beach:
On a beach, the sunrays not only reach your body directly but are also reflected by the sand and the water. This increases your chances of getting damaged by sun very substantially on a beach. It is better to take as much protection as possible while picnicking on a beach.

Heights:
As we go up on a hill, the sun damage increases. So while trekking on a hill or on a hill station, take maximum care with protective clothing, sunscreens, sunglasses and umbrellas.

Snow:
Snow intensely reflects sun radiation. Protect yourself with in as many ways as possible. Wear tightly woven clothes, which cover your body from top to toe. Wear sunglasses and a hat (or use an umbrella), apply higher SPF sunscreen on all the exposed parts, preferably the whole body.

Clouds:
Many of us think that a cloudy day is safe to roam out. Do you know that UVA rays can pass through the clouds? So take protective steps even on a cloudy day.

Time:
Try to remain indoors between 10 am to 4 pm; not only during summer, but also during winter. But if it's inevitable, use enough protection.
