Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments.

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. Regardless of the cloudiness of the day, a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more should be applied and reapplied generously, specifically after swimming or outdoor exercise. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
