Never neglect to protect yourself. Eyes and skin can suffer swift damage. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. After a swim or outdoor exercise, one should liberally reapply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. Beware! Reflecting off water and sand, UV rays are much stronger.
