Wear protective clothing such as a wide-brimmed hat 👒 or choose clothing with tightly woven fabrics or with a high Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF)
Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on all exposed skin and reapply frequently. At least every 2 hours ⏰
🕶 Protect your eyes and surrounding skin with sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays
