"Large amounts of sunscreen would ideally be needed to protect oneself the whole day, and carrying around so much sunscreen may not be feasible," Walia said.

"This is why physical protection, like a scarf or dupatta, long sleeved clothes, an umbrella, a pair of shades, is important because they screen you from the sun's direct rays".

Protection of your hair with a head gear or hat is also important.

And doctors advise limited time outdoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the sun's rays are the strongest.

So guard yourself and bask in the sun, literally!
