SPF Yourself

We all remember the days when it we would parade down to the beach in our teeny-weeny bikinis and stretched out like happy lizards, absorbing all of the sun's rays we could get. The tanner the better, we thought. Honey, I hate to tell you, but those days are definitely over.

As a woman, you no longer fear spiders and boys, but they have been replaced with a whole new set of fears, which may or may not include the following: fudge brownies, unlimited credit, and UV rays.

The latter is what we're concerned about. Never leave the house without at least SPF 15 or higher on exposed skin, especially your face; apply 20 minutes in advance. Avoid peak hours of 10am-3pm. If you live in a sunny locale, be extra careful to wear protective clothing, like long sleeves and a hat - preferably a stylish one.
