There are a number of ways in which one can be protected from the harmful effects of UV radiation
When using sunscreen, make sure you are using one that offers protection from both UVA and UVB rays
The SPF (sun protection filter) shows how much protection the sunscreen is offering against UVB rays only
The higher the SPF the higher the protection against UVB rays
UVA protection is shown either by the words UVA inside a circle or by using a 5-star rating
Receiving five stars in the rating, implies the highest level of UVA protection
