less burns 5. Tans abundantly and very rarely burns 6. Least
sensitive with less burns and heavy tanning

your skin, so as to avoid the UV rays which can be very
cancerous. Rates of breast, prostrate and other cancerous
disease have increased mainly due to the UV rays. Whenever you
are out, try wearing a cap to avoid the rays.

Whenever you are out apply sunscreen which is effective enough

stop using sunscreen as it is cloudy weather, use it all the
times.
