The sun affects our skin all year round, but its radiation intensity changes. To protect yourself, it is important to know the UV index-an indicator of the level of ultraviolet radiation. It can be found in weather forecasts, but many ignore this information and make a huge mistake. Details are in the material of IA EAOMEDIA.
What do UV index indicators mean?
- 1-2 – low. You can calmly walk even without protection, the risk of burns is minimal.
- 3-5 – moderate. It is better to avoid the sun during the hours of its maximum activity: from 11 to 16 hours.
- 6–7 – high. We need serious protection: Sanskrin, a headdress and clothing that covers the body.
- 8–10 – very high. Use a high SPF cream and try not to be in the sun for too long.
- 11 and above – extremely high. It is better not to appear on the street without protection. Cream with SPF 50+, hat and closed clothing are required.
That is why UV-index is your assistant in the protection of the skin. Check the indicator before leaving the house to choose the correct degree of protection. Remember: Even a few minutes under the extreme sun can turn into burns.
