Always be cautious. Skin and eyes can be affected swiftly without protection. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun 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. Always apply a 30 SPF or higher sunscreen if you plan on being in direct sunlight for long, especially if you burn quickly.
