Protect Yourself With the Seven Steps To Safer Sunning 1. Stay in the shade. Avoid the sun from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. This is when sun rays are strongest. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies.
Harmful rays pass through clouds.
Use sunscreen products on your skin. Many suntan products have sunscreens to protect your skin from the sun. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. A higher number means it protects longer. Buy products with an SPF number of 15 or more.
