A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck. Safeguard your skin from sunburn by consistently using sunscreen with a 30 SPF or more. This also reduces the Sun’s damaging effects. Stay alert! Reflective properties of sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
