You are My Sunshine, My only Sunshine
As far as the song goes, I would like to change it to: you are my skin, my only skin! Doesn’t quite have the same charm though. Summer officially started. We are headed into some sunny, hot weather this week. The sun gives us (and the planet) life energy, uplifted moods, sun kissed skin, and vitamin D. (If you have a vitamin D deficiency, rather than relying on the sun, vitamin D supplementation is better). If you are fair skinned, the sun will burn you in no time. Wearing clothing to cover your skin and a wide brimmed hat is the best sunscreen. Here are some options for your skin if you want to wear a bit less. Look for a sunscreen that offers broad spectrum protection which block UVA and UVB rays from the sun. Some only provide protection from UVB only.
