Undertake all key precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes may get burns in no time. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be liberally applied and re-applied every two hours, and immediately after an outdoor workout or a swim. Be vigilant! The Sun's UV rays get a boost from sand and water reflections.
