Aotearoa’s Summer is here! Which means.. beaches, BBQ’s and spending time with whānau and friends. It also means excess exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the sun. According to NIWA New Zealand’s UV Index which measures UV radiation levels, it takes an average of only 12 minutes to get burned in Aotearoa! Remember to protect yourself with sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sunhat. I am wearing My Sunshine Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 (NZ made, vegan, ocean and reef safe) and Isle of Eden ‘Felina’ Sunglasses (designed in Tāmaki Makaurau and made from bio and recycled acetates, which is all derived from wood and cotton pulp).
