Taking safety measures is non-negotiable; skin and eyes can be swiftly affected if neglected. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Enhance your sun protection with tightly woven, yet airy clothing. Post an outdoor workout or swimming, a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen should be applied generously and frequently. Heads up! The reflection of sand and water notably intensifies UV rays from the Sun.
