Protecting Skin from Harmful UV Radiation

 skin radiation
It doesn't matter, what time of the year it is, protection from the UV (Ultraviolet) radiation is extremely important . The harmful radiation can reach you on cloudy and hazy days too. They also reflect off surfaces like water, sand, cement, and snow. Alongside, even indoor tanning (with a tanning bed, sunlamp or booth to get tan) exposes one to UV radiation.
The time between 10 am to 4 Pm is considered to be the most hazardous time for getting affected by UV radiation. Hence, one must try to avoid outings in this particular time span. But, practically, we all know, it’s not at all possible.
Clinic Dermatech recommends some easy options for protection from UV radiation and getting that smooth, clear and tan-free skin all round the year.

  • Seek shade, especially during midday hours
  • Wear clothes that cover your body to the maximum and exposes very little skin to the sun
  • Choose to wear a wide hat which can cover your face, head, ears and neck.
  • Avoid indoor tanning
  • Wear a good quality sunglasses that block around 100 % of UV radiations.

Last, but not the least, the most important of all, do not leave home without applying sunscreen. Sunscreen products work significantly to save skin from the harmful effects of the UV.
