BLOCK THAT SUN
I can't emphasize this enough: Wearing sunscreen every time you're in the sun is so important. This includes in the car, whether driving or sitting in the passenger seat. I guess I'm more of a driver, because I have a few more spots on the left side of my face! Even on a walk, I wear a high neckline for protection from the sun.
