C over-up Cover up using protective clothing, such as a long sleeve shirt and hat when in the sun. Use clothing with a tight weave to keep out as much sunlight as possible. Keep babies younger than 6 months old out of direct sunlight at all times. Hats with brims are important. Remember, sand and pavement reflect UV rays even while under an umbrella.
Snow is also a good reflector of UV rays.
Reflective surfaces can reflect up to 85 percent of the damaging sun rays. Also, take special care to purchase protective eye wear for you and your children. Purchase sunglasses with labels ensuring they provide UV protection. As a result, persons with skin that tends not to burn easily can develop a severe sunburn in just minutes when taking certain medications. However, no sunscreen blocks UV radiation 100 percent.
