Take special precautions, as unprotected skin can be damaged and can burn quickly. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Always apply a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF to protect yourself. Sunscreen can reduce the harmful effects of the Sun's radiation on your immune system. Attention! UV radiation is ramped up when reflecting off sand and water surfaces.
