Stay safe from the Sun's strongest UV rays by limiting exposure during midday. 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. Heed this! Snow reflection can almost augment the UV radiation of the sun by double.
