Sunlight is a source of Vitamin D synthesis, and also provides mood lifting qualities


However, it has downsides as well. Solar radiation not only causes skin cancer, but also can make you look older. Who wants that? (Not me!) And, what can we do about it?

First, I want to say that sun protection can come in many forms. There is sunscreen, but there are also sun protective clothing options. Wide brimmed hats protect delicate ears and noses. UPF clothing is available in many sporting goods stores
