Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes. Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen must be generously applied and reapplied every two hours or post any outdoor activity or swim. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
