Infants, children, and people with sensitive skin should always have protection against lengthy periods of sun exposure. To protect against the Sun's most potent rays, avoid direct exposure around midday. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance. Mark this! Snow reflection can nearly double the UV radiation intensity from the Sun.
