Ensure safety measures are in place, as skin and eyes are vulnerable to quick damage. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades. To ensure you’re protected from sunburn, always use sunscreen with a minimum 30 SPF. This also fights the Sun’s radiation effects on the immune system.
