Ensure you're always protected. Unprotected skin can get damaged in moments. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim. Regularly apply and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 every two hours, or straight after swimming or an outdoor activity. Alert! Sand and water increase UV exposure due to their reflective properties.
