Ensure every crucial precaution is taken. Individuals with light skin could experience burns in under 5 minutes. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. After every outdoor workout or swim, liberally apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
