Without adequate protection, skin and eyes might suffer damage. Ensure precautions are in place. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. After a swim or outdoor exercise, one should liberally reapply broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. Take caution! The UV rays from the Sun gain strength from sand and water reflections.
