Wear clothing that covers the body and shades the face. Hats should provide shade for both the face and back of the neck. Wearing sunglasses will reduce the amount of rays reaching the eye by filtering as much as 80 percent of the rays, and protecting the lids of our eyes as well as the lens. Avoid exposure to UV radiation from sunlamps or tanning parlors. Remember, sand and pavement reflect UV rays even under the umbrella.
Snow is even a particularly good reflector of UV rays.
Reflective surfaces can reflect up to 85 percent of the damaging sun rays. Click here to view the Online Resources page of this web.
