To protect the work you’re doing to keep your skin glowing, invest in clothing with an SPF factor. Choose a retro look with a large hat and wide sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection.
Stay out of the sun between 10am and 2pm. That’s when its rays are most intense. If you’re at the beach, take a lunch break or go to the movies. If you’re at the pool, stay in the shade under a large umbrella and wear your hat and sunglasses.
