If you're wondering when it's best to hit the beach, you don't have to rack your brains over this question anymore - in this article, we've collected answers to the most popular questions regarding tanning.

So, the optimal time for sunbathing is considered to be the first half of the day before 12 o'clock.

During these hours the atmosphere is clear and the ultraviolet rays are not as intense as those that reach Earth in the afternoon.

However, it is not recommended to be in the sun between 12 and 14 o’clock – this is fraught with heat stroke and burns.

Before you stretch out on a sun lounger, don't forget to cover up any age spots or moles and, of course, apply sunscreen.
