Remember to safeguard yourself. Rapid damage can occur to skin and eyes without protection. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Prompt application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30+, is necessary after a swim or an outdoor workout and it should be re-applied every two hours. Caution! Sand and water reflections can notably increase the UV radiation intensity.
