Always stay safe. Unprotected skin and eyes can get damaged rapidly. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly. Even if the day is cloudy, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied generously and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or outdoor exercise. Be wary! Reflections from sand and water make UV radiation more intense.
