Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly. Stay protected under the Sun by applying sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher. This also decreases the risk of damage to the immune system. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
