Protect Your Skin from the Sun

This summer has been full of unpredictable weather, but one thing that always remains true is the sheer strength of our sun here in New Zealand. Even on overcast days, it is important to take precautions to protect our skin from these harmful rays.

One of the best ways to protect yourself from the sun is by wearing a hat. A wide-brimmed hat can provide shade for your face, ears, and neck, which are all areas that are particularly susceptible to sun damage.

Another way to protect yourself from the sun is by staying in the shade. Find a nice shaded area or use an umbrella, tent, or gazebo to keep yourself cool, calm, and shaded.

Wearing layers can also help. Lightweight, breathable fabrics that cover your arms and legs can provide an extra barrier against the sun's rays. Long-sleeve shirts, pants, and skirts are all great options for staying protected in the sun.

If you can't avoid sun exposure, sunscreen is a must when it comes to protecting your skin. But not all sunscreens are created equal.
