Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes. Apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen after every two hours, or immediately after a swim or outdoor exercise. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
