Unfortunately, nowadays the sun can be dangerous. Therefore you should get the right sun protection when sunbathing. Whether you want to get a beautiful sun tan at the beach or just walk around in your home town doing some shopping, your should always be protected from the sun.
The higher the sun in the sky, the higher the UV radiation level. At noon the UV radiation is at its strongest.
The feel-good-source
Sunshine is wonderful: it gives us energy and makes us feel good. However, spending too much time in the sun can damage your skin. That’s why you should get protection from the harmful UV-rays. These UV-rays cause the skin to tan and to dry. They are responsible for premature aging and dark pigment spots.
In extreme cases skin cells may be damaged by the sun’s UV-rays and skin cancer may be the result.
How to enjoy the sun and reduce the risks for skin damage?
Wear sunscreen and protective clothing. Stay in the shade during peak hours when the sun is high in the sky, especially in the summer (usually from 10 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon). There is plenty of time left to enjoy the beach outside these hours.
Quick advice
Take precautions, calculate your safe sun tanning time or help yourself when it’s too late with these simple, but effective remedies.

Easy, Lew, I just took a few days off… in the sun
Arex,
Please produce your research. The sun has been burning on this planet for 4.5 billion years. Yes UV radiation does exactly what you state and it does it to all cells of the skin when exposed to sunlight. Abnormal skin cells can mutate under certain conditions causing skin cancer when exposed to UV radiation. Melanoma usually shows up in areas of the skin and torso near or on a mole or in areas where the sun does not shine. Moles and the like are not to considered normal skin cells. There has been FDA information hidden now for about 10 years regarding the danger of sunscreens and the chemicals used to produce them. There has been no regulation of this booming industry. With only 500 brands tested they found over 450+ promoted cancer growth. Tell that to the people lathering up all over the world. Many people have been exposed to chemical induced mutations under the premise that the Sun actually did it! Sadly this is not the case and the flawed research bears this out. Yes the sun may have helped fuel the mutation and may or may not have caused the cancer.Since any chemicals and sun on the skin at the same time.. is very bad science.
Do your research on what has been hidden from you and get back to me. Research does not bear out the use or include any type of sunscreen and or products used by any patients prior to skin cancer diagnosis. Certain genetic traits place certain people at greater risk than others, white, blond, red hair, moles, ethnic background. So why are you blaming it all just on the sun? The chemical pushers have done a find job of fooling everybody. Do your self a favor and investigate the hormone we call Vitamin D and where the synthetic comes from and the molecular structure. Also realize it affects every organ of the body. I believe the skin is the largest organ of the body. Then research the uniform codes and regulations of how and when this hormone is added to our consumable products like milk for instance. Since I am dead serious lets remember.. to much of anything can cause cancer to rear its ugly head. Can’t wait to hear back from you. Evolution…thats a good one. P.S. Still seeing lots of the lung cancer showing up in people that don’t smoke…but lets blame the cigars for all of them.
Are you serious? The sun doesn’t cause skin cancer? There is conclusive evidence that UV radiation, which comes from the sun, causes skin cancer. (The high frequency of the UV rays mutate the DNA in skin cells, which then causes the cell to become malignant and undergo cellular division faster than the cells around it.) If you don’t believe the sun causes cancer, you might be one of the nuts that don’t believe in evolution too.
The Sun does not cause cancer…sunscreen does! Under no circumstance should people be putting any sunscreen on their bodies or any other chemical! The Sun is a natural health requirement for all of us. Precautions should be taken by those of Irish and German and English decent but that does not include the use of sunscreen. You are all being scammed by the very people that only make money when you show up at the doctors office. There is no reports or studies that confirm positively that natural sun causes cancer of the skin……so why do you buy into the lies?
