The sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to stay in the shade during these hours to minimize direct sun exposure. Use umbrellas, trees, or shelters when outdoors.

Protect your eyes and the delicate skin around them by wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This helps prevent cataracts and other eye-related issues caused by sun exposure.
