Myth no. 1: Before you leave there is no need to prepare for sunbathing, just lubricate the cream directly on the water
This statement is true only in part. Beauty products with SPF although partially protect the skin, but they require the application of at least 20-30 minutes prior to their stay at the beach to protective ingredients can activate and absorb into the skin.

Myth no. 3: In the shadow over clothes and in cloudy weather can not burn
This myth is considered by many people to be true. In fact, UV radiation penetrates even into places where the sun's rays themselves apparently do not get into space and thus protected by shade or under clothing. Is reflected from sand, sea levels, concrete, tree trunks and other surfaces around you. According to a study prepared by the Institute of Medical Research in Queensland, corresponds shade protection comparable with a UV filter with a maximum value of SPF 6.
