Undertake every vital safety procedure, as unprotected skin and eyes could sustain burns in no time. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim.
