Sunburn occurs when the skin is overexposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or other ultraviolet light. To prevent sunburn it is important to reduce UV radiation contacting the skin. This can be achieved by wearing clothing to cover the skin and wearing a sunhat and sunglasses. You can also prevent sunburn by applying sunscreens to exposed skin before sun exposure, as this blocks UVA and UVB radiation from reaching the skin.
