AB AT-A-GLANCEPhotoprotection  measures  include  seeking  shade  during  the  peak  ultraviolet  (UV)  B  hours  of  10:00  AM  to  2:00  PM  and  the  use  of  high  sun  protection  factor  (SPF)  broad  spectrum  sunscreen,  clothing,  wide-brimmed  hat,  and  sunglasses.UV  induces  skin  aging  and  skin  cancer,  but  using  sunscreen  may  slow  down  skin  aging  and  reduce  the  risk  of  developing  skin  cancer.Photoprotection  in  children  is  essential  and  its  importance  should  be  taught  from  childhood.Although  oral  photoprotection  cannot  substitute  for  topical  sunscreen,  it  may  serve  as  a  secondary  measure  to  prevent  skin  damage  from  solar  radiation.UV  protection  factor  is  a  UV  protection  rating  for  fabrics.  Several  chemical  treatments  can  increase  a  fabric’s  natural  UV  protection  factor.Many  types  of  glass  have  very  good  UVA2  and  UVA1  protection  (up  to  380  nm).Sunglass  standards,  mandatory  in  Australia  and  voluntary  in  the  United  States,  specify  a  maximum  percentage  of  light  allowed  to  be  transmitted  and  a  minimum  vertical  dimension  of  sunglasses.
