We both love sunshine and the life and energy it brings into our daily lives! And we better because we both live in sunny, warm areas of the world! Funny thing is, we rarely lather up with sunscreen, really only if we’re going to be in the sun for long periods of time.

Today we are talking about just how vital sunshine is to our health and why choosing the right sun protection is so important. We’re sharing some hard facts about vitamin D and the importance of getting in some good ol’ sunshine daily for overall health and wellbeing.

We share some awesome, simple ways to protect your skin naturally using foods and our favorite non-toxic sunscreen! And since summer is fast approaching, taking action in your life with this episode’s practical “Action Steps” will help make sure your skin is naturally protected, well-nourished and safe!
