Enforce every key safety measure. Those with light skin might get burns in a matter of minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation. Even on cloudy days, a sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should be generously applied and frequently re-applied, including after every swim or outdoor exercise. Attention! The reflection of both water and sand can increase the intensity of UV rays.
