Unlike children, who always need sun protection, most individuals can remain in the sun for up to an hour without getting burnt. When the Sun's UV radiation is most intense during midday, it's best to find shade and limit exposure. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days. Mark this! Snow reflection can nearly double the UV radiation intensity from the Sun.
