Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments. 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. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days. Frequent reapplication of a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen is vital every two hours or directly after a swim or an outdoor workout. Be on guard! The reflective nature of sand and water boosts UV exposure.
