Preventing Sunburn

Avoid exposure to strong sunlight, particularly during the hottest part of the day.

If you have to go under the sun:

Limit your time of exposure initially, gradually increase over the following days.

Apply sunblock liberally to all exposed skin.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat, long sleeves, trousers, and sunglasses. Wearing an unbuttoned long-sleeved cotton shirt over a t-shirt or tank top will help keep you cooler while protecting you from sunburn
