I could swim, almost before I could run.
When I was two, my father chucked me in to the swimming pool and I took to it like a pig to mud, or a cow to cud.
Anyway, I love the sun, just as much as I love swimming. Sometimes when my muscles are just too sore from TRX or running, I swim instead. After that I catch up with reading by the pool. And.. oh, the tan is a bonus!
Of course I use SPF30 for my face and SPF15 for my body to cut out the sun’s harmful effects. As free radicals in sunlight can cause premature skin aging, skin cancer, and a host of skin changes, one should always use sunblock. Exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB, from sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging, so lathering up on sunblock is a must. Morning rays are also less damaging than the noon day sun, and that’s why I opt to swim in the mornings on weekends.
My face sunblock of choice is Clarins Sunscreen Cream High Protection SPF30, and for body sunblock – Banana Boat Sport, SPF15.
