avoid using cosmetics that have sunscreen added.
limit sunbathing times on a cloudy day.
only tan during the hourse of 10 to 2pm
wear light, loose clothing and hats to limit sun exposure

Explanation:

• Cosmetics with added sunscreen are beneficial, not something to avoid.
• Cloudy days still have UV rays, but limiting sunbathing then is less critical than direct physical protection.
• 10am to 2pm is when UV rays are strongest, so tanning during this time increases skin damage risk, making this option harmful advice.
• Wearing light, loose clothing and hats creates a physical barrier that directly limits UV exposure, which is a key, evidence-based way to prevent permanent sun-related skin damage.

Answer:

D. Wear light, loose clothing and hats to limit sun exposure
