In contrast to children, who must always be shielded from the sun, most people can tolerate up to an hour of sun exposure without any burns. The intensity of the Sun's UV radiation during midday suggests reducing time spent outdoors. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Be alert to the fact! The reflection from snow can nearly double the UV radiation of the Sun.
