Always be mindful of protection. The risk of damage to skin and eyes is significant if neglected. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. 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. Before stepping out, consider using a sunscreen with 30 SPF or more. Especially if you're one to burn easily, avoid prolonged sun exposure.
