Children must always have sun protection, unlike most people, who can tolerate up to an hour in the sun without any burns. To prevent harmful UV exposure, minimize direct contact with the Sun around midday. 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. Heed this! Snow reflection can almost augment the UV radiation of the sun by double.
