Execute all vital precautions. Preventing sun damage is of utmost importance. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. 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. Prompt application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30+, is necessary after a swim or an outdoor workout and it should be re-applied every two hours. Take note! The UV strength of the Sun elevates when reflected off water and sand.
