Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat. For optimal sun protection, use sunscreen of no less than 30 SPF. This not only prevents sunburn but also reduces radiation damage.
