If you do go out in the sun during those times, wear a hat or visor to shield your face, and sit under an umbrella or other protective apparatus. Wear loose-fitting clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible.

Apply sunscreen to all of your skin that will be exposed to the sun, paying special attention to your face, ears, and neck. The last thing you want to endure is a bad sunburn, which can lead to serious conditions such as sun damage. Even worse, you may develop skin cancer. Avoid this risks at all costs.
