The sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm, so 4 pm sun is not as safe as other times of the day. While the intensity of the sun's rays decreases later in the afternoon, they can still cause damage to your skin.
To protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays, it is recommended to:
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm.
- Wear protective clothing, including hats and sunglasses.
- Apply sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to all exposed skin, reapplying every two hours.
Remember that even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun's UV rays can penetrate the clouds and reach your skin. Therefore, it is crucial to practice sun safety measures at all times.
