1. Choose the Right Sunscreen

The numbers on the sunscreen bottle matter. The higher the number, the better the UV protection from the sun’s harmful rays. If you’re at the beach, you’ll want to invest in a water-resistant sunscreen and apply it frequently for optimal protection.

2. Invest in Sun Protection Clothing

One of the best ways to prevent overexposure to the sun is to cover up with clothing. Sun protective clothing is clothing made with special materials that block UV rays from harming your skin. However, any type of covering while you are on the beach helps.

3. Wear Sunglasses

Your eyes can suffer damage from the sun, too. Over time, you could develop cataracts from too much sun exposure. Plus, they protect the delicate and thin skin around your eyes from getting sunburnt.
