Ensure precautions are always in place. The risk to skin and eyes is high without them. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat. Apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen after every two hours, or immediately after a swim or outdoor exercise. Be alert! The reflection of water and sand augments UV radiation intensity.
