To avoid sun damage, everyone – except babies under six months – should apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher to all exposed parts of the body before going outside if the UV index is three or higher high three.

The higher the factor of the cream that is applied, the better the protection from UV rays.

UV radiation is also present during winter and when it's cloudy, just in smaller amounts, so people should wear protection year-round, even when it's cloudy.

Spending time in the shade, wearing sunglasses, hats and choosing clothing that covers the skin also help protect against UV rays.
