Explanation:

1. For Lake's scenario: Midday sun has the strongest UV rays, so avoiding that time and limiting beach exposure to morning/afternoon is the best protection.
2. For Sanji's hair health: A nutrient-rich diet, gentle washing, and air-drying instead of heat all improve dry, brittle hair.
3. For Gabe's nail habit: Biting nails and picking cuticles breaks the skin/nail barrier, allowing bacteria to enter and cause infection.
4. For Ali's breakouts: Touching her face transfers bacteria, and a dirty backpack towel introduces more germs, both contributing to breakouts.
5. For Sully's eczema: Over-the-counter treatments, moisturizing damp skin, and avoiding scratching are all standard eczema management steps.
