Enforce every vital precaution. Those with light skin could endure burns in a matter of minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Applying and reapplying liberally a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours, and straight after a swim or outdoor activity is recommended. Warning! Reflective surfaces like sand and water amplify the Sun's UV radiation.
