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 is at its strongest around midday, find shade and limit exposure. 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! Nearly double the UV rays from the Sun can be reflected by snow.
