Unlike children, who always need sun protection, most individuals can remain in the sun for up to an hour without getting burnt. It's crucial to reduce time in the direct Sun around mid-day due to the intense solar radiation. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Consider this! The reflection from snow can almost double the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation.
