Take every essential safety procedure. Individuals with fair skin could sustain burns in less than 5 minutes. 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. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Regardless of the cloudiness of the day, a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more should be applied and reapplied generously, specifically after swimming or outdoor exercise.
