It’s important to use sunscreen most of the time (definitely when the UV index is greater than 3 - you can check this on weather apps for example the Bureau of Meteorology app if you live in Australia).

It’s even more so important if you happen to be on any of the above medications which may increase the sensitivity of your skin to UV radiation.
