I live in the Pacific NW, so we don't get too many "Blazing Sunshine" days.
I think when you're visiting the islands, you probably remember to take and use sunscreen--not so much when you're in a mostly overcast climate--even during many days in the summer.

When choosing a sunscreen, make sure it is FDA approved. Here is a link to FDA information on sunscreens:
There are also many myths about sunscreens--for instance, many people think that if they use an SPF 30, they are getting twice the protection of SPF 15. NOT SO! Here is a link to some more sunscreen myths:
Remember, sunscreens that have antioxidants as part of their ingredients will fight all those free radicals! Now that you are armed with some facts, go out any enjoy the sun!!
Aloha, and Mahalo for visiting!

Thanks for the sunscreen tip! I love the ads on TV that tell you to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10 and 2, because during haying season, those are the perfect hours for being out in the fields. We'll try to do better with our sunscreen this year. :)
