Take important precautions because unprotected skin can burn and be harmed swiftly. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. One should apply and reapply liberally a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ every two hours and immediately after a swim or an outdoor exercise. Attention! The reflection of both water and sand can increase the intensity of UV rays.
