Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. After a swim or an outdoor workout, generously apply and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Attention! UV strength is notably upped by the reflection of sand and water.
