Undertake all critical precautions. Protection from sun harm is vital.

Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. Even if it's cloudy, generously apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with no less than a 30 sun protection factor after each swim or outdoor exercise. Stay vigilant! UV rays get a boost in intensity due to sand and water reflections.
