Swift harm can befall unprotected skin and eyes. Prioritize safety. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days. Despite the overcast weather, sunscreen with SPF of at least 30 should be applied liberally and reapplied often, particularly after swimming or an outdoor workout. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
