There are several misconceptions about sun safety, including:
- Myth: Cloudy days are safe from sunburn. Fact: UV rays can penetrate clouds and still cause sunburn. - Myth: Children with darker skin don’t need sunscreen. Fact: All skin types can be damaged by UV rays and need protection. - Myth: Only direct sunlight causes harm. Fact: UV rays can reflect off surfaces like water, sand, and snow, increasing exposure.
