Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim. Applying and reapplying liberally a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours, and straight after a swim or outdoor activity is recommended. Caution! The reflection of sand and water significantly amplifies the Sun's UV radiation.
