Employ all critical precautions. Guarding against sun damage is essential. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more should be applied liberally every two hours and directly after outdoor activities or swimming. Be careful! The Sun's UV radiation is accentuated by reflecting off sand and water.
