Children must always have sun protection, unlike most people, who can tolerate up to an hour in the sun without any burns. When the Sun is at its strongest around midday, find shade and limit exposure. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure. Keep in mind! Snow's reflective quality can nearly double the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
