Sun protection is recommended during the sun protection times, or whenever UV levels reach 3 or higher. People who work outdoors, are at the snow or outdoors for extended periods should use sun protection outside of these times (regardless of UV level).
For the best level of protection use a combination of:
Slip on clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible.
Slop on SPF30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating. Cancer Council recommends using sunscreen every day on days when the UV Index is forecast to be 3 or above. Sunscreen should be incorporated into your daily morning routine on these days.
Slap on a broad-brimmed hat that shades your face, neck and ears.
