Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim. Beware! The reflection of water and sand dramatically increases exposure to the UV rays.
