  As Sol Sisters prepare for sunny vacations (to exotic locations) and stay-cations (planting garden creations) there are two sun myths we’d like to debunk. First: "All sun protection is good for you" - false! Some chemical sunscreen ingredients can penetrate the skin and absorb UV radiation through their chemical bonds - yuck! SolTip1: Choose sunscreens with ingredients like Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide that reflect UV rays. We recommend Fair & Fashionable's BB+ Cream, rated SPF 40. Second: “After age 40, SPF is pointless” - also false! As we age, our skin becomes more susceptible to sunburns. Most skin...

We protect our delicate skin with UPF clothing and sunscreen, but what are we doing for our hair?
