Apart from RIVELA Sunscreen, what other additional sun protection measures should I take?

Sunscreen plays an important role in protecting skin from the sun. For additional protection, the following measures should be taken:

• Wear protective clothing, such as long‐sleeved salwar kameezes/shirts and trousers, and use an umbrella/wide‐brimmed hat and sunglasses.
• Remember that the sun’s rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm  - so, during this period, stay in the shade as far as is possible.
• Extra caution should be taken when near water, snow and sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase one’s chances of sunburn and, thereby, skin damage.
