Hi dear a pan-India study has revealed that the best time to get exposed to the sun is between 11am and 1pm since the wavelength of ultraviolet B (UVB) rays is 290-320nm during this period which is essential for skin to make vitamin  D You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance
