While sun exposure does not greatly affect most, individuals with fair skin, babies, and children always need vigilant safeguarding. Sun's radiation is most powerful around mid-day, so it's best to limit outdoor activities during this time. 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.
