The beauty and calm of the ocean off Waikiki can lull anyone into complacency when it comes to sun protection.
No doubt some sun is good for boosting spirits and even helping the body to produce Vitamin D, but under the blazing summer sun look out for the first streaks of pink, the start of a painful sunburn in your present, and wrinkles, sagging and premature aging in your future.
Sunscreens and sunblocks are your best protection from damaging UV, UVA and UVB rays, but SPF makeup products can offer another layer of protection whether you’re on the beach or enjoying the leisure of an open-air cafe.
