PARIS, May 18 — While a bottle of sunscreen has become an essential while packing for a vacation, it has to be used wisely for it to be effective.

Nearly one out of two people surveyed admitted not knowing that UVB rays cause sunburn, 27 per cent didn’t know that UVA rays accelerate skin aging, and more than a fifth of respondents are convinced that clouds protect from the sun.
