Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays. Despite the cloud cover, sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be generously applied and reapplied, particularly after a swim or an outdoor workout. Be attentive! The UV exposure is heightened with reflections from sand and water.
