Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim. Even when it's cloudy, ensure the generous application and frequent reapplication of a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF, particularly post swim or outdoor activity. Take caution! The UV rays from the Sun gain strength from sand and water reflections.
