Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes. For best protection against the Sun, use a sunscreen with no less than 30 SPF. This helps prevent sunburn and negative effects on the immune system. Notice! Sand and water reflections contribute to a stronger UV exposure.
