What is the best way to protect ourselves from the SUN?

I think the best solution is to wear more, not less. Long sleeved and loose fitting 100% cotton shirts (poplin, gauze, seersucker, or other lightweight cotton) cotton is naturally breathable so the air can circulate, it will also wick any sweat away from your body, which is cooling. Keeping yourself covered is cooler than having your skin exposed to the sun, so long as the clothing is not clingy. There is also the added benefit of protecting your skin from the harmful rays. Think of the desert nomads, they do not go around in short shorts and tank tops :) I would also wear sunglasses and a viser if not a cap. Also, you can wear a terry cloth band (sweatband) across your forehead to collect the sweat and keep it from dripping into your eyes., you can also put some wrist sized ones on your wrists, which you can use when you wish to wipe your brow. You would probably want to wear dungarees because of their durability for an outdoor job, again make sure they are non clingy to the body, how about farmer's bibbed overalls?

We just found out my SO has lupus which means he has to be protected from the sun all the time even in winter. Our girls are high risk for it as well so they have to be careful too. Every morning everyone puts on the sunblock. They reaplly it every 2 hours. He wears a hat and long sleeves. In the summer he will have to continue to use sunscreen and wear a hat. We found hats that weren't too tight fitting that shadow his ears from the sun as well. They are really nice hats. We had to shop a lot since hats aren't his thing but we found some he really liked. The sunscreen we use is SPF 45. They all have to watch to move so that the sun is not directly on them all of the times. Another good way is to do your outdoor activities according to wear the sun lands. The best time to do things out side is in the early morning hours. So since he has to work outside at times he makes his schedule so that he can do things early morning and then on the side of the building that is shaded from the sun at certain times of the day. He also can work in the evenings out in the open. I hope this helps.

Everyone has a limit to how much melanin their skin can produce. Many fair skinned people just have to accept that they will never tan and always burn. No matter how careful they are. If you recognise yourself as this type you should forget about trying to get a tan, and simply aim to enjoy the warmth and beauty of a hot summer's day. Protecting yourself from the sun will involve blocking out the ultraviolet rays, but this need not mean that you have to stay indoors all day and avoid the sun altogether. Certain screening lotions and creams can block out ultraviolet radiation altogether I think.

You have to wear sunscrean, a hat, and long sleeved shirts and long pants, (buy connon because its light material and will allow your skin to breathe) you may feel a little hotter than you would like to, but your skin will thank you when it stays cancer free! also drink alot of water because keeping your skin covered you will sweat alot, and you need to replace the fluids in your body!
