Whether you’re hitting the slopes or the sand, use protection. The sun's rays can burn skin in just 15 minutes, even on cloudy days, and especially when you’re near water, snow, and sand and surfaces that reflect and intensify the sun's UV rays. Be especially
vigilant during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) when rays are strongest and most damaging. If you can't cover up with long sleeves or pants, slather on SPF 15 or higher. Look for the words "broad-spectrum" on the bottle; this means the product blocks both UVA and UVB rays. And don’t forget shades to keep eyes protected, too.
