Use an umbrella if you are going to be in the sun for long periods.
Limit outdoor activities when the sun is strongest -go out before 10 am or after 4 pm.
Use sun screen even on cloudy or hazy days - you can still get burned.
What to wear
a wide brimmed hat
This protects your face, the back of your neck your ears and your scalp ( the areas where its more difficult to apply sunscreen).
Sunglasses
Your eyes can also be damaged by UV radiation.
Why squint when you can wear cool shades?
Dark clothing (Shade Cloth 30-90 % )
UV (UV Natural Sunscreen) rays pass through your clothes . Although dark clothing is warmer to wear, light does not pass through fabric as easily as it passes through light-coloured fabric. Light weight, gauzy fabric doesn't protect you as well as tightly woven clothes.
