Utilize all vital precautions. Guarding against sun harm is non-negotiable. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Applying and reapplying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 after every two hours, outdoor workout, or swim is recommended. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
