Practice all-important precautions. Light skin people may get burned in less than 5 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun. Even on a cloudy day, sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 should be used liberally and reapplied often, especially after a swim or outdoor activity. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly increases the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
