As we step out into the sun this summer it is important to think of our skin. These days there is really no excuse for falling victim to skin damage as everyone is well versed in the dangers of too much exposure to UV rays. In addition to slapping on the sunblock it is possible to use clothing to help you look great while protecting your skin.
Why You Need To Protect Your Skin
Let's start with a brief reminder of why you need to think carefully about protecting your skin from the sun.
In addition to using appropriate sunscreen year round (that's right – winter sun is just as dangerous), it is advisable to keep your skin covered especially in peak times (10am to 4pm) . However, that does not mean having to sacrifice your style. There are plenty of high fashion ways to protect yourself. Let's look at some of the top items of protective fashion.
Hats The Way To Do It
One of the key essentials for the Summer months is a really great hat. In order to be effective, a sun hat needs to have a wide brim (approx 3 inches) that will offer shade for your face and neck. The hat is also going to protect your scalp where most melanomas begin. In terms of trends, the slightly floppy, wide brimmed straw hat is something of a classic which will never really go out of style.
Don't Forget About Your Eyes
As mentioned previously, sun damage can wreak havoc on your eyes. That is why sunglasses are so much more than a fashion accessory. Choose good quality sunglasses that have a high SPF rating. This season the big trend in sunglasses is fun frames. Keep the current trends in mind and pick out striped or animal print sunglasses.
Covering Up On The Beach
It is important to have something to cover up your bikini. Sarongs are fiddly and not really in style any more, but there are plenty of other choices. Oversized clothing is right on trend at the moment so think about loose drawstring pants and flowing shirts or a maxi dress. Remember animal print, monochrome, bold stripes and florals are all hot right now.
If you are particularly concerned about beachwear then you may even wish to check out Mott50 a range of stylish clothing designed to offer SPF50 protection.
