Since summer is starting to sizzle most of the country. I’d like to encourage everyone to use some sort of sun block to protect your skin.
Even though I’m pretty dark and hate wearing sun block…I’ll still put it on when its super sunny out there. I’ve heard of clothing that have some sort of UV blocking material…but I figured that might be too expensive.
But that picture above seems to have the right idea…

I have never, ever gotten a sunburn through a t-shirt. I’ve gotten a sunburn on all areas not covered by clothes, but I find the idea of special UV-blocking clothing totally ridiculous.
And remember, if you get no exposure to sunlight, you rob your body of vitamin D, which has actually been shown to reduce the chance of breast, colon and prostate cancer. Fifteen minutes of sun a day is good for you. If you’re going to be out longer than that, wear sunscreen.
