After months of being cooped up indoors during the winter, summer is the perfect time to get outside and soak up some much-needed sunshine. Sunlight is essential for our bodies to produce vitamin D, which helps regulate calcium and phosphate levels and keep our bones and teeth healthy. However sunburns can be painful and increase the risk of skin cancer, so it’s crucial to wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every time you’re outside. Apply it liberally and reapply every two hours, or more often if you’re swimming or sweating.

2.- Protect Your Eyes

The sun’s UV rays can also damage your eyes, so be sure to wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection. Look for sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays, a good sustainable option is Karun’s sunglasses. Made out of recycled materials, they can take care of your eyes and the enviorment, while still looking good.
