Well, when I started seeing pre-mature wrinkles on my face in my 30s, I understood pretty quickly.</p><p>I can&#8217;t undo the sun damage from all those years of not protecting my face, but I can stop adding to it. So, in addition to <a href="https://www.hammocksociety.com/i/137362333/this-weeks-picks">sunscreen</a>, I never head to the beach without a sun-protective hat. Both of mine are from Bluestone Sunshields, a brand I use and highly recommend. I wear the Shorty Lux on the sand and the Softest Visor in the water.</p><p>And yes, I actually swim in it. When my face is in the water, I flip it backward, the way guys wear their baseball caps. No more post-beach-vacation skin regrets for this gal.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.hammocksociety.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share THE HAMMOCK SOCIETY&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.hammocksociety.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share THE HAMMOCK SOCIETY</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
