Enforce every vital precaution. Those with light skin could endure burns in a matter of minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Before stepping out, consider using a sunscreen with 30 SPF or more. Especially if you're one to burn easily, avoid prolonged sun exposure. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
