Without constant care, eyes and skin might suffer damage in a short time. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Even if the day is cloudy, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied generously and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or outdoor exercise. Attention! UV radiation is markedly stronger with water and sand reflections.
