You can get the equivalent of a first or second degree burn. Too much sun can cause skin to wrin kle and sag, especially as you get older; it can produce brown marks called “liver spots;’’ and after years of heavy exposure can result in skin cancer. The burning power of the sun is con centrated primarily in the ultraviolet rays which are invisible. These rays are responsible for your contracting a bad burn even on a hazy day, since they penetrate the cloud layer. Scientists are finding that ultraviolet radiation combines with many modern drugs and chemicals to produce many adverse effects. If you use any drug regularly, consult your doctor before exposing yourself to the sun for pro longed periods. You get the most burn between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. In the early morning and late afternoon, the sun’s burning power is weaker as the rays are less direct. Schedule your sunning in gradually lengthening periods. On the first day 20 minutes should be the maximum sun-bathing time for adults, and much less for children.
