Execute all vital precautions. Preventing sun damage is of utmost importance. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. A broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ should be used liberally and reapplied every two hours or post an outdoor workout or swim. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
