Although people may be aware of basic sun protection practices like applying sunscreen when spending time outside, many are unaware of just how dangerous UV rays actually are. As the Earth’s ozone layer has been depleted by the industries of modern man, our daily exposure to the sun’s damaging rays has dramatically increased.
A sunburn can happen even on a cloudy day, and concrete, sand, water and snow can reflect the sun’s UV rays up to 90%. People put on some sunscreen and think they are safe for the day.
