Safe Fun In The Sun-Times Includes A Sun Blocking Hat
From your sun blocking hat to your wraparound sunglasses to your sun blocking long sleeve loose-fitting shirt. Once you put them on, you don’t have to reapply sunscreen to protect your skin.
You will have to reapply sunscreen on your face and neck. There are so many things that reflect the sun. Your sun hat protects you from the rays coming down from above your head.
But the protection is not so good from the rays that are reflected from the ground. Water, snow, cement, the paint of your car or boat. Don’t take a chance. Protect your face with sunscreen often throughout the day.
Protecting From The Sun

Climate Warming Is A Fact
Your skin can be one of the victims of climate warming. Sun blocking clothing can offer you an easier way for protecting your skin. The climate is not as friendly as it was when I was young. My skin is showing the damage that I allowed to happen.
I have sunspots (freckles) and early aging (wrinkles). Then add to that, are several skin cancers. Uneven skin tones, and coarse skin pores that are difficult to work with when applying makeup. Do you want to find yourself old before your time?
I Am Now Aware
Is it possible that my hours of reading and researching could help you become aware?
I thought this could be done in a month! Maybe by some, but not by me. Being a writer, not a Doctor with a degree there has been terminology. A late-arriving slow learner who wants to have some idea of how to help myself and my family.
It is boring and sometimes gross to read and research any cancer condition. The terminology is hard to remember until it refers to you or your family.

Where are you in your knowledge of Protection From The Sun IQ?
“I want a tan” phase? Is this you? Maybe you think “I don’t need to worry about the sun, do I?” Or are you in the “what was I thinking” phase?
Regardless of where you are in the awareness of your skin’s need for protection to avoid skin cancer, please pay attention.
Awareness Of The Need For Skin protection
What are you seeing in how your body reacts to sun exposure?
The first line of defense is to cover up! Plain and simple!
However in our society with the general public wanting our skin to be tan, we don’t cover up! Everyone and their adopted cousin think they need a tan to look cool.
I know, because yes, I felt that way for years. No, I couldn’t see what was happening. Sure I knew people who were 10 years or so ahead of me in the game of keeping that tan look.
And I saw what they looked like. I was so sure my tan would only end up with the cool factor, not the wrinkled and dried-up look. That wasn’t what I wanted!
Awareness in your daily life
What do you want for your time in the sun? Do you want to allow the sun to damage your skin until you look old and wrinkled and dried up? Until the skin cancer forces you to make a change?
Or do you want to enjoy your time outdoors and have healthy skin with little if any skin damage that leads to skin cancers? Arm yourself with awareness.
It is a choice we make. Using sun blocking clothing along with sunscreen creams and lotions can help you keep your skin healthier. However, sunscreen creams and lotions alone won’t do it all.
You will need to help by adding sun blocking clothing. Covering your skin with clothing is the easiest and best way to protect your skin. Using sunscreen and clothing is double protection.
I am beginning to get my sun blocking clothing knowledge going. Where are you on your journey? Is it worth the price for the protection? With more knowledge and awareness can you make a better decision?
