Sunshine-meter
During the summer, time between 11:00AM and 2:00PM is when the sun is most intense, so a medium-fair skin Caucasian could safely expose themselves for about five to eight minutes of daily sunshine without sunblock creams. Winter season requires people to get more sun exposure trips. Location is an added factor as well whereas people who live further north where the climate is colder or cloudier and/or have darker skin needs more time; it would also be wise to take a vitamin D supplement. Recommended daily allowance of 2000 IU daily in the D3 cholecalciferol form will safely maintain your vitamin D levels. But before you start shooting yourself up with high doses supplement, its important to test your current vitamin D level – anything greater than 150ng/ML of vitamin D becomes toxic already. For those having fairer skin living close to the equator, a lesser sun time is suggested.
People who are brown from spending their lives working outside in the sun have lower rates of skin cancer. But those with light skin, freckles, numerous moles, has been exposed to radiation and arsenic or had a history for skin disease should be out of the sun long before your skin starts turning red. Moderation by starting with a few minutes a day then gradually work up.
The process of skin tanning had a significant controversy whether it is beneficially protective against the sun’s harmful rays or is actually a symptom of skin damage. The key to a healthy sunning is by avoiding sunburns.
