Always be mindful of protection. The risk of damage to skin and eyes is significant if neglected. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses. Use liberally and reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every two hours, or straight away after any outdoor workout or swim. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
